Gorge Games in Hood River!
This week was amazing. There were so many sports lovers who came out to watch the best doing what they are good at. Saturday was the Big Air Kite Competition. I was going to only go for a couple of hours to get a few photos, but I ended most of the day up on the boat with my buddy Rod Parmenter who is an awesome filmmaker of all things sporty. We had those air crazed kiters jumping over us which made for some cool closeups at high speed…so I got some great pictures. Kiters were coming at us in both directions which made me wish for a helmet and 3rd eye on the back of my head. I just had a haircut few days ago and did not want to have it re-cut with one of the many fins on the kite board. I was ready to protect my camera gear with my body a couple of times when it looked like the kiter was going to join us in the boat. You can see more of the photos here
