Hood River is a big deal if you're Canadian or belong to the hippie/granola set. If you've traveled to other windsurfing destinations in the world, you realize Hood River is just big hype. It's a good place for mountain bike riding, or stuff like that, but as a windsurfer, I don't care for chop hopping in murky brown water, while dodging container ships. Been there twice, and have no desire whatsoever to return. |

Never been to the Gorge but am curious. It's been hard to justify the trip when I live so close to Sherman and do regular visits home to Hawaii. But now my daughter is going to school just outside of Portland so I think I will have to give it a try. At least I have a reason to go.

really? i guess different strokes for different folks. i love da gorge... and i live in SF and have sailed in Australia, the Caribbean, San Carlos, Maui, etc.. and it is a great place to buy some cool T-shirts! I know Big Winds has some nice ones.
