Paddling to Wells Island, Hood River, Oregon

Hi everyone! I wanted to quickly share the company and information from where I paddled this past Friday. The company I rented from was located on The Hook and called Hood River Sup and Kayak. They have a ton of rental options as well as tours available. When we rented, we started in the little cove behind The Hook and then paddled out to Wells Island. On the northern side of the island there is a decent sized beach usually only occupied by windsurfers. It was a hard paddle directly into the wind. The wind was so strong at times that it was blowing my kayak sideways across the water, so if it’s really windy it’s probably best to rent a SUP board that has a good fin underneath. Our original plans were to paddle around the entire island but after working up a serious sweat just getting to the little northside beach, we opted instead to lay in the sun and relax before heading back.

Have a great weekend!!
