Kiteboarding at Rufus, Oregon

I went up to the Hood River area for an event a few weeks ago and spent a day kiteboarding at Rufus with some friends. It’s a fantastic windy place with A LOT of upwind current. If you loose your board, it flies upwind away from you.

When I swam out with the camera, I had to kick as hard as I could to stay in the same place. As soon as I stopped, I flew upwind like I was in a river. Well, that makes since, as I was in a river.
