Hood River – Columbia River Gorge
Oregon, United States·Kitesurf
Avancé Chop 18–70 km/h
Hood River in the Columbia River Gorge is widely regarded as the windsurf and kitesurf capital of North America. The unique geography — a deep river canyon acting as a wind tunnel between the Cascade Mountains — produces world-class thermal winds every summer afternoon. The river chop is challenging, with strong currents and cold water, making this a spot for experienced riders.
Very strong currents — getting back upwind is crucial. Cold water year-round (wetsuit mandatory). Shallow rock hazards near shore. Heavy boat traffic on weekends.Event Site launch area in Hood River, Oregon. Closest airport: Portland (PDX), 1h15 drive east on I-84.
