When it comes to discovering new locations in the Columbia River Gorge, it’s damn near impossible. That is, unless you have a boat full of exposure-hungry kiteboarders and a photographer in search of never-seen-before Gorge shots. This past August, photographer Adam Koch arranged a five-day boat trip through the Gorge while shooting the 2010 North Kiteboarding lineup with Sky Solbach, Jon Van Malsen, Ken Winner and Tommy Fields.
The hardest part of finding new riding locations in the Gorge is a lack of decent launch sites. But with their boat, several new locations were claimed, including under The Bridge of the Gods in Stevenson, Washington, Chicken Charlie Island by Mosier, Oregon, and even the small sandy island that sits right in front of the 600-plus-foot Multnomah Falls.
Moral of the story: Even when you think every kiteboarding location has been discovered, there are still plenty of new spots to be found — it just takes a little more effort to find them.

Don’t forget to include the motor when conducting a routine check-up of your boat. Regularly check your boat’s motor of salt deposits,water or fuel leaks, and corrosion of metal parts. Make sure that you regularly drain the fuel tanks and replace with fresh fuel. Movable parts like valves and cables must be regularly lubricated, and the tank should be sprayed with anti-corrosives for added protection. Check motor parts for worn areas and cracks, and remember to keep the clamps and fuel fittings properly secured.
Great post. Bless you for posting it.
Sincerely,
