Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area Windsurfing Highlights

By Travel Expert: Ludmilla Alexander

  • Ride winds blowing from the Columbia River Gorge that pump giant swells.
  • Eat a long, leisurely breakfast—the best gusts don't pick up before midday.
  • Trek to the Oregon side of the river, where windsurfing sites are intermediate to advanced.
  • Spend the night in nearby Stevenson—the gateway to fantastic windsurfing on the River.
