Barring some horrible disaster, a week from now I'll be paddling in the Columbia River Gorge on the state line between Oregon and Washington. Some athletes are already there getting ready for the big race at the end of next week. Long-time racing friend Chris Hipgrave of Bryson City, North Carolina, posted a video online of one of his downwind runs, and what you see above is a screen shot. It looks like there's a nice wave forming up off the starboard bow. Beyond that wave you can see a kiteboarder sailing along--surf ski paddlers aren't the only ones who are drawn to the legendary winds of the Columbia Gorge.
