So there's a place you can go with guaranteed downwinders and white water river running? In the same general vicinity? And it's sunny and warm?

Move over Maui, there's a new number one bucket list destination.

Dont forget the mountain biking, snowboarding, crazy cool lakes, windsurfing, kitesurfing and a heap of other things to keep you busy. Looks like another 20 to 30 knot day today so back in to the Downwinders.

Slightly off topic but I know many of us are kiters as well. We were staying in Hood River last year and it was epic, snowboarding on Hood Moutain in the morning and kitesurfed in the afternoon brilliant

That looks like a pretty light wind day in that little vid. Yeh we are waiting for a 30knots day again before posting a vid :)
Today was another whitewater day in some class 3 & 4 rapids! ! Heavy as some amazing wipeouts. Vid is coming! Wind is back tomorrow afternoon and the days after that looks so damn windy!
