We’re still coming down from the high that was the 2014 Naish Columbia Gorge Paddle Challenge. It was an awesome weekend of racing and one that everyone assembled at Hoodriver Waterfront Park won’t soon forget.

But if you couldn’t make it to Oregon in person and the Gorge Paddle Challenge photos and results aren’t enough, here’s some early video highlights of the action.

Dan Gavere was in the Hood all weekend but instead of racing he was flying his drone and mingling with the assembled dignitaries. Nice little mix of race footage and paddler interviews.

Some rambling guy in a blue hat even makes an appearance mid way through the clip…
