Hooked on Hood River

Austin Kalama just returned from a memorable Naish crew trip to Hood River, and in this feature, he gives us the lowdown! Bigger waves, longer hang time - he pushed his limits and had a blast! When the water was calm, he enjoyed fishing and joined the awesome community for downwind runs. He even showed off with a new wing and nailed a killer shoot the next day! Undoubtedly, Austin can't wait to return to Hood River and relive the excitement all over again! Read all about his trip right here.
