Home of the notorious "Redsides Rodeo" from years ago, Redsides is back!
It's a medium sized, wave - hole located on the McKenzie River in Oregon. Fast and dynamic, you can do both wave and hole moves.
A couple weeks ago a group of us from Eugene, Oregon made the half hour drive to one of the best summer playspots in Oregon. Check out the photos.
