The Columbia River Gorge's location makes it the perfect spot for windsurfers.

The surrounding cliff walls and depth of the Gorge allow it to function like a wind tunnel, as differential weather patterns east and west of the Cascade Range merges here.

Wind can reach speeds of up to 30 knots making this the windsurfing capitol of the Northwest.
