🎶 Bend Boarding Babes: Emo River Paddle – Goo Goo Dolls + Dashboard Confessional!🎶Friday, August 29, 2025
📍 Launch Spot: 266 SW Shevlin Hixon Dr, Bend, OR
🕡 6:30 PM Meet-Up + Pump-Up
🕖 7:00-ish Launch
Let’s scream, float, cry a little (or a lot), and paddle into peak emo nostalgia. 💔🌊
Join the Bend Boarding Babes for a golden hour session on the Deschutes River in Bend — where the sunset will hit just right, the acoustic angst will be echoing in the distance, and the feels will be very real as Goo Goo Dolls and Dashboard Confessional soundtrack the night.
Whether you’re ready to belt out “Vindicated” or “Iris” while floating under the stars, this is the paddle for your emo heart.
🎸 About the Music:
From the raw emotion of Dashboard Confessional to the timeless heartbreak anthems of Goo Goo Dolls, this is a lineup made for soul-searching on a SUP. With platinum hits, cult classics, and tracks that still hit hard years later, these bands defined a generation—and they're still making us feel.
🧺 Paddle Night Prep:
Bring bevs, snacks, a hoodie, and a towel — it gets chilly when your heart is full and your feet are wet.
(All paddle levels welcome! BYOB (board)😉
🎤 Bonus points if you scream-sing “My hopes are so high that your kiss might K*ll me...” while floating past a duck.
