Come with me as I jump on my paddleboard and explore the entire downtown of Portland from the Willamette River!! Scroll down to find out the exact course I took on this paddle and the distance travelled.
Exploring Portland from the water was an awesome experience! I got to see all of the bridges, the marina, a paddlewheel boat and even a US Submarine! Ready to see the city from a new perspective? Grab a SUP and hit the water!! I dropped a link to find out more about one of my favorite touring boards.. the Surftech D2 Paddleboard. Check it out HERE and get ready to fly!
