I have to say this year's Pistol River was some of the best sailing I have had in quite some time. The wind was howling, the waves were just perfect. You want to jump... go for it. Go as high as you want!! I rode my 4.1 Ezzy Taka and my Starboard Kode 81 for most of the time in Oregon. For the Santa Cruz, section I was riding the 5.3 Taka 2 and loving it!

I don't know why but I still can't get enough of this sport. It is in my blood, in my bones, and I just love it.

Special thanks to Ruben, Ingrid, and Ian for capturing the action.
