The Best Windsurfing on Earth Nestled in the scenic Columbia River Gorge, is Brian's Windsurfing & Kitesurfing in Hood River, Oregon. We offer the best instruction in what is hands-down the windsurfing capital of the United States.
Strong rising air from the high plateau to the east pulls in strong westerly Pacific breezes. The Gorge topography squeezes this energy into incredible wind and surf conditions. Not only is the windsurfing great, but there's an international flavor with sailors from all over the world making the Gorge their summer home. Brian's Windsurfing & Kitesurfing is more dedicated to the sport than any other school you'll find in Hood River.

Brian has more than 20 years experience as a professional windsurfer and instructor in Jamaica, Miami, Maui, and the Gorge. His resume includes a U.S. National Championship, Masters Racing Championship, U.S.Y.R.U. Certified, and U.S. Sailing Certified. Brian expects this level of expertise from his staff. He only recruits people who have the patience and passion to teach others how to enjoy the sport. Brian's Windsurfing & Kitesurfing equals more than quality - it also means value. We doubt you'll find a lower price, but if you do let us know. We would rather newcomers have a good experience and develop excitement and enthusiasm for the sport, than take an inferior lesson for a few dollars less.
