HOMETOWN HYPE: Newport - A hard-charging surf community

Travel along Oregon’s 363 miles of coastline and you’ll find no shortage of surf.

Within that lies Newport, a Pacific Northwestern surf hub, and the subject of Casey Felton’s addition to The Inertia’s Hometown Hype series. 00:00 - Introduction 00:32 - Newport OR Background 01:39 - The waves of Newport 02:30 - Local Legend: Kirk Tice! 03:37 - History of surfing Newport 04:02 - Around town 04:32 - Winter surfing in OR 07:05 - Big Swells in OR Presented by our friend at White Claw: https://www.whiteclaw.com/ The Inertia: The Definitive Voice of Surf, Mountain, and Outdoors // http://www.theinertia.com Subscribe to our channel: http://bit.ly/TheInertiaYT Follow us!   / the_inertia     / theinertia     / theinertia     / theinertia
