The Pistol River Wave Bash is here in Gold Beach from June 17th to the 20th, 2010 and it will be at the Pistol River State Park. The wind tribe was so overdue for a gathering and where could be better than that notoriously windy stretch of beach at Pistol River? Perfect timing this year because of the classic wave sailing conditions on the south coast of Oregon. The sailing season is in full swing.
