Hood River Kiteboarding Highlights

By Travel Expert: Linda Samuel
  • Located at the heart of the Columbia River Gorge, Hood River is commonly called the "Kiteboarding Capital of the World."
  • Summer is the best time for skimming these waters; wind gusts reach 30 mph.
  • Outfitters along the river provide instructions and equipment. A basic, 90-minute lesson is less than $100.
