We’re so excited to welcome you to our Intro to Wing Camp in our home spot of Hood River, OR! This all-women’s day camp is designed to give you the skills, support, and confidence to dive into winging (or add new tricks and more style to your riding).
With a small, supportive crew of women, you’ll get hands-on coaching, off-the-water tips, and everything you need to go from zero to hero—or step into your next level with confidence.

Camp Highlights
The Winging
Hood River & the greater Columbia Gorge is the epicenter for kiteboarding in the PNW. It’s windy almost every day in the Summer and conditions range from steady 20’s to strong and gusty. This will be an empowering group setting for women to learn to wing! Specific location is subject to change depending on conditions.
This weekend is for beginner and intermediate riders.

We’ve got you covered with top-of-the-line equipment from Armstrong Foils and Naish—no need to bring a thing.

We provide everything you need so you can focus on learning, progressing, and having fun on the water.
Lunch from Local Fave

About Hood River, Oregon
The Town
Hood River, Oregon, is a small but vibrant town nestled along the Columbia River Gorge, about 60 miles east of Portland. It's known for its stunning natural beauty, outdoor recreation, and a unique blend of small-town charm with a growing cultural scene. Hood River is often referred to as the "Wind Surfing Capital of the World." Its location on the Columbia River, combined with strong, consistent winds, makes it a prime spot for windsurfing and kiteboarding.

The Wind
During the summer, the winds are typically 15 to 25 mph (24 to 40 km/h) on most days, but they can gust higher, especially in the afternoon. Some days, the winds can reach 30 mph (48 km/h) or more. This makes the area a prime spot for wind-powered sports. The predominant winds in the summer are west to east winds that come from the Pacific Ocean, funneled through the Columbia River Gorge. In the morning, the wind tends to be lighter and more variable, but it picks up speed as the day goes on, typically reaching its peak in the afternoon.
The Water
The Columbia River can warm up to 60°F to 70°F (15°C to 21°C) during the summer months. This makes it quite refreshing, especially for activities like windsurfing, kiteboarding, wingfoiling.
