The 2008 Gorge Games in Hood River, Oregon are this weekend. Outrigger races have been held in July on the Columbia River for 12 years. The Gorge that separates Oregon from Washington is one of the country's most famous spots for watersports. The unique conditions of current and wind create some really fun action in the water.
This is the premier race in the Northwest and has attracted paddlers from Hawaii, California and Canada every year. The weekends Outrigger events include a fun downwinder for OC-1, OC2, and Surfskis. Saturday are the 6 man races and Sunday the one man races. New this year is the addition of an SUP category. KIALOA has always been a proud participant of The Gorge Outrigger Races both as paddlers and sponsor. This year KIALOA will have three employees racing and officiating at the races.
Pray to the River Gods for wind!
