Kiteboarding Video: Melancholy (in cursive)
Noe Font - Melancholy (in cursive)
"On a hot day, the snow melted away into a stream and flowed down the valley and into the sea. And this place was born."

Hood River: an eclectic location filled with grandoise mountains and cool, deep blue water. Here, kiteboarders come from all over to enjoy the resources around them and to demonstrate their skills.

Noè Font has shown the joy of kiting in Hood River and spun his take in a way that's fun, unique, and inspiring.
