Weendy: What’s the windsurfing scene like where you live (the Columbia River Gorge, Oregon)?
Ingrid: The Gorge is so much fun! On a windy day (which over there, is 3.3 or smaller), the parking lot will be full of people boosting air and riding swell. Most of the people are into high wind only. That’s when the swell gets big and provides nice ramps. The freestyle scene is awesome too …
