Sam took this great photo of me surfing on the Deschutes River.  I really love freestyle kayaking, especially on the big waves of the Deschutes, and I’m looking forward to our kayaking and rafting trips coming up in June, July and August.  Big waves, warm sun and good food- that’s what Deschutes River trips are to me.   Check out our website for more info. -Dave

Here’s a great photo of me surfing Colorado Wave on the Deschutes River north of Maupin, OR.  Paddling the Deschutes during the late summer and fall is so much fun.  I love being on the river with IKers, rafters and other kayakers- that’s some of what makes Northwest River Guides‘ trips so much fun. -Dave
