Yeah, it doesn't really matter where you live on the west coast if you take California out of the equation. In general, you can ride year round as long as you're at sea level and in central or Southern California. California is honestly the best thing on the west coast you'll have. You have the local DJSB around central california if you're into racing. Plenty of lakes around the central valley. My favorite lake being East Park Res, then Camp Far West a close 2nd. You have the best surf conditions for skiing known in the US in Oceanside down south (Opinion). Pismo beach is damn awesome too for surf. You're a days drive away from Lake havasu for world finals. Reno, nevada has a yearly competition. Prime spot for a mix of everything: Bay Area. Prime spot for surf: San Diego or LA.
