Massive waves crash ashore at Shore Acres State Park, near Coos Bay, OR. Some of these waves send water up to a hundred feet in the air. One of the best places to view the show is near the old tennis courts, north of the parking lot.
Tourist Tip: If you see someplace that's wet, don't stand there. It's wet because a massive wave just drenched the area, and there's a good chance another one will hit within a few minutes, often with little warning. Even if you're within the fenced-in areas, be prepared to be hit by the spray from the waves.

We spent a few days of fall break exploring the west coast of Michigan from Warren Dunes State Park north to Grand Haven. It was fairly cold and windy but crowd-free, which seemed like a decent trade off. Besides, the wind made for some decent photo opportunities. Sunsets were conveniently early but mostly less than stunning.

Kiteboarding or kitesurfing is a sport that involves using wind power with a large power kite to pull a rider across a water, land, or snow surface. It combines the aspects of paragliding, surfing, windsurfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, and wakeboarding. Kiteboarding is among the less expensive and more convenient sailing sports.
After some concepts that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s and some designs were successfully tested, the sport received a wider audience in the late 1990s and became mainstream at the turn of the century. It has freestyle, wave-riding, and racing competitions.
Most power kites are leading edge inflatable kites or foil kites attached by about 20 m (66 ft.) of flying lines to a control bar and a harness.
The kitesurfer rides on either a bidirectional board (a "twin-tip", similar to a wakeboard), a directional surfboard, or a foilboard. They often wear a wetsuit in mild to cold waters. Wikipedia

Beautiful waves crashing in on the coast.
*bear with* I'm having a hard time narrowing down photos to upload. I really have knocked out more than I've uploaded and those were actually favorites, not all of the ones I took. Crazy snapping away.
Today we headed out to Asbury Park with Elizabeth and Dan to take pictures at the beach and, perhaps more importantly, to have the amazing thin-crust pizza at Pete & Elda's. (Yes, we were totally using them to get to the pizza.) It was an absurdly warm day, with sun so bright it made everything look hazy, but we soldiered through the adverse photography conditions and ended up having a great day. Of course, it would have been a great day even without pictures, because the company couldn't be beat.
