A search plane from the Hood River County Sheriff’s Office on Wednesday morning located the remains of a missing paddle boarder in the Columbia River.  The Sheriff’s Offfice confirmed the body recovered from the river was that of 20-year-old Andres Pombo of Miami.  Pombo went missing Friday afternoon.  Witnesses indicated Pombo was last seen near the area of the river known as Swell City.  His remains were recovered just down river from that point he was last seen, near mid-channel.  Pombo was in the Hood River area for a paddle board race.  He did not have a personal flotation device or tether on at the time of the incident.  The Sheriff’s Office reminds Columbia River users that the current is stronger than most people believe and strong winds increase the danger to recreationalists, and urges everyone on the river to use a flotation device as required by law and other available safety equipment when using the river for recreation.
