Cascade Kiteboarding

Cascade Kiteboarding is a kiteboarding and wing foiling school based at the Hood River Event Site on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge, one of the best-known wind spots in the United States.

The school offers beginner and advanced kite lessons, wing foil lessons and e-foil lessons, as well as multi-session packages and gift certificates valid year-round.

It also sells new and used gear (kites, bars, boards, wings, foils, stand-up paddle boards) and runs off-season trips, including to the Outer Banks (North Carolina) and Maui (Hawaii).

The Hood River season opens in early May; a live camera shows the sand spit at the Event Site.
