Maybe you've heard of Hood River? It's a big name in the world of windsurfing and kite boarding. In fact, some call Hood River, just 45 minutes east of Portland, the windsurfing capital of the world, thanks to the incredible gorge winds that blow along the Columbia River. On an average breezy day, it's typical to see dozens (if not hundreds) of colorful sails dancing across the wide river. Both windsurfing and kite boarding lessons and equipment are available in and around Hood River. Come for the day, or rent a house and stay for a week -- or longer!

Find a perfect spot to hit the waters of the Gorge.
