Kai Thompson wins the Gorge Downwind Challenge 2025

Downwind Hood River Podium Rider news

The Gorge Downwind Challenge podium, Hood River 2025

"First time in Hood River and definitely made it memorable. The first race was extremely tough with very light wind; I rode the Fireball 1070, which matched the speed of the river perfectly. Second race the wind turned on, we had excellent bumps. I can't remember when I have been in so much pain pumping 1.5 km to the finish, collapsing across the line." First overall for Kai Thompson, with Gabriella Bella on the open SUP podium.
