Get Ready for the Gorge Paddle Challenge with This Great Highlights Reel from 2016


We’re just a few days away from one of the biggest races of the year: the Naish Columbia Gorge Paddle Challenge in Hood River Oregon.

This year is set to be all-time, with a record level of international athletes making their way to Oregon as we speak, and we’ll be live streaming the action as it happens alongside the crew from Quickblade Paddles.

In the meantime, here’s a look back at last year’s epic showdown thanks to master lensman Chris Aguilar.
