HOOD RIVER — Juliet Thompson Hochman is a world class athlete. A New England native, Hochman played every- thing growing up; field hockey, basketball, softball, diving, tennis, soccer, horseback riding. She even played on the boys’ lacrosse team in middle school. But rowing is where Hochman found her “first” athletic life.

Professional slalom skateboarders from the United States and abroad roll into Hood River this weekend to test their skills on Columbia Street outside Full Sail Brewery.
