Cory Roesler, a founder of the sport of kiteboarding, sat down with me and we talked about EVERYTHING. So much so that I had to split our conversation into two parts.  Here's a taste of what we dive into in part 1: 

Kite history and the evolution of the sport

The effects on places like Hood River and Baja

The Gorge Games

Sport culture dynamics

Raising kids in the outdoors 

Lessons in problem-solving

Extreme sports injuries 

Relative risk and the improvement of technology and engineering 

The common lessons we learn among all sports 

 

We mentioned some very important events and organizations in this episode! If you are interested in learning more please follow these links!
