Dale Cook has pulled a massive windsurfing jump, followed by an incredible bailout at the Hatchery on the Columbia River Gorge.
The conditions were epic. With the wind gusting at 45 miles per hour (72.4 kilometers per hour) and the river flowing at 342,000 cubic feet per second, all windsurfers were having fun.
The swell allowed for wave sailing tricks, but Dale Cook was more into windsurfing jumps.
And it happened when it had to happen. Cook found a ramp and got airborne.
Dale's breathtaking 4.5-second jump had everyone ecstatic. As he prepared to land on choppy water, he opted to bail out in spectacular fashion.
"The Hatch" is located about four miles west of Hood River in Oregon.
Depending on the power of the stream, windsurfers can get up to eight-foot unbreakable waves.
