About me

She has spent much of her life in//on the water and divides her time between Bend and Hawaii, residing part-time on a sailboat, sailing and SUPing off the shores of Oahu. She’s paddled in some amazing destinations, from Australia to the Italian coast, from Switzerland’s alpine lakes to the entire west coast. Lori’s been leading BYF’s paddle sessions since 2022 and we can’t imagine the festival without her!
