ORT – 2006-2010 West Coast Rafting Champions

The Oregon Rafting Team (ORT) is a team of whitewater paddlers who compete on a variety of rivers throughout the West Coast in multiple 4 man paddle raft teams. ORT races head to head with other teams and against the clock through rapids ranging from class III (mild) to class V (extreme).
