In our ripper of the month section we are frequently introducing members of our river windsurfing community. This month it's Sean Aiken who lives in Hood River/Oregon, the meka of River Windsurfing. Sean is a well know Gorge sailor who rips the Gorge since decades. He participated at several Gorge windsurfing competitions and won the 2000 Gorge Games.
In an interview he tells a bit about his passion for the sport and how he got into it.
"Well I've sort of lived most of my life around windsurfing. I've spent 22 summers in the Gorge and 11 winters on Maui. I've been surrounded by great sailors and great conditions not to mention that I just love to windsurf."
