THIS is Kiteboarding
Those Hood River Feels
Let’s travel to one of the most well-known kiteboarding spots in the United States: The Columbia River Gorge, located in Hood River, Oregon. Not much beats this picturesque region with it’s famous views of the prestigious Mt. Hood. Cabrinha riders Reo Stevens, Nick Jacobsen, Damien Leroy, and Matt Elsasser, decide to squeeze in one of their last summer kiteboarding sessions, utilizing the perfect winds that send them some 100 feet floating into the air. Here in Hood River, these boys do it all. From foiling to surfing to boarding, you won't get bored watching the fellas throw what they know.
Watch this video and it’s almost like you’re right there, tearing up the white water waves alongside the professionals. See for yourself why this Mt. Hood locale is home to some of the best kiting in the world. THIS is kiteboarding.
