Floating the Rio Grande for the Balloon Fiesta

Floating the Rio Grande for the Balloon Fiesta
We are back in New Mexico just in time for the 50th anniversary of the International Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This is a one-of-a-kind event that should be on every nomad's bucket list.
This year we wanted to have a whole new experience at the Fiesta. I just received two FreeIn inflatable SUPs and thought what a great way to see the balloons from the Rio Grande River. Luckily for us, there was plenty of flow this year due to unseasonably high rainfall this summer and fall.
I wrote this guide because I was scouring the internet for information and found little to no details so we set out and floated the river two times to find the best route and now I am sharing it with you.

I guess it would be Extra Kooky to be up in a Balloon 🎈

[@Vankookz]

We offered all the pilots our free service of flying in the balloon but no one took us. That would be awesome

I ❤ this adventure. Balloon skimming the water is crazy. Did they end up in Mexico WTF? what’s that navy destroyer you’re calling a paddleboard? My paddleboard is so unstable I can’t stay on it in the ocean.

[@Vankookz]

Lol a Navy Destroyer.... haha they land all over town it's madness! There's a wind here that's called a box wind it takes them up across and down its crazy to watch it work.

[@DavetheUberSlave]

@@Vankookz very cool bucket list for the box wind

[@dannyrogers5960]

When's the next kookz surf adventure?

[@Vankookz]

Yo dude! Hopefully soon I was talking with Benton about lining something out. Did you know Mac lives in Oceanside now he’s got a cool spot not to far from beach and right next to a skate park. You should get in touch.
