Gear, Grit & Good Vibes: Kiteboarding Swap Meet in Hood River: Windance Boardshop Brings Wind Sports Community Together in the PNW
A Staple of Wind Culture in Hood River, Oregon
At the heart of Hood Riverโs thriving wind sports scene, Windance Boardshop continues to serve as a cornerstone for kiteboarders, wing foilers, and windsurfers from across the Pacific Northwest. The recent swap meet hosted on-site brought this passionate community together for a day of connection, discovery, and shared enthusiasm. As an ambassador for North Kiteboarding and Mystic Boarding, I had the opportunity to support the event by engaging with attendees, offering gear insights, and capturing the experience through both photography and drone footage.
