Demo the latest windsurf gear at the 2008 Gorge Windfest, June 28-29
Every summer in Hood River, Windfest proves to be the ultimate opportunity for visiting the Gorge and trying out the latest technology in windsurfing. With free clinics and lessons, anyone from beginner to advanced can swing by and have some fun! Last year, even Robby Naish himself couldn’t resist the pull of Windfest!
Windfest takes place at The Event Site here in Hood River, Oregon and this year runs from June 28-29, 2008. Here’s the full press release, straight from Royn himself:
THE 2008 GORGE WINDFEST: A windsurfing demo weekend at The Event Site in Hood River, Oregon—June 28-29.
Demo the latest and greatest gear all weekend! Head for Hood River in June for the annual Gorge Windfest, the ever-popular event hosted by the Columbia Gorge Windsurfing Association (CGWA). You’ll find a beach full of sails and boards to test drive on the water, along with a full schedule of free clinics for all abilities and free introductory lessons offered by a local windsurfing school. (Space is limited for lessons, so call ahead for a reservation.) Plus you never know who will stop by - last year, legendary Robby Naish was on hand to hang out, talk gear and sail with the crowd.
The event, organized by longtime Gorge sailor Royn Bartholdi, will run from 10am to 4pm Saturday and Sunday with music, prizes, and fun activities. This is a great opportunity to meet fellow sailors and share the spirit of windsurfing. Beginners are welcome! Visit www.gorgewindfest.com for details.
We hope to see you there!
