Rooster Rock Outrigger Race

The Rooster Rock Outrigger Race was this last Saturday hosted by Mountain Home Canoe Club in Portland, OR. The race was on the Columbia River and about 10 miles long. It was a beautiful summer day and we had crews there from all over the northwest and Canada. There was OC-6, OC-1, OC-2, Surfski, and even an SUP division. I was in the Bend Oregon womens OC-6 boat and we had a lot of fun and did pretty well too! Mahalo Mountain Home for such a great event!

Here are some pictures to share by photographer Paul Cunningham. He has pictures from the race for sale at his website.

Laura Ricker was a key organizer from the Mountain Home team for this event. KIALOA was proud to donate a paddle for the raffle.

"What a great race," said Laura, "but only because of the amazing group we had there. I'm telling you, I was drooling over Dave's KIALOA paddle for months! It was great to see that it brought smiles when it was won. I KNEW we'd have two walk up for that prize!"
