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.

    I can’t say enough about this incredible experience! The coaching was absolutely extraordinary. The instruction was key to my wing foil progress, and they brought the perfect balance of patience, humor, direct feedback, and inspiration. Beyond the coaching, the entire experience was flawlessly organized. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and the day-to-day schedule ran like clockwork, allowing us to focus entirely on learning and having fun. And let’s talk about the food—absolutely outstanding! Pair that with a breathtaking location, and it truly felt like paradise.

  • Susie Miller

    The All Women Strut Kiteboarding Camp in Baja was exactly what I was hoping for. It was a week of top notch instruction from 2 pro women kiters with a supportive group of like minded women. Nadja and Sensi create an environment where women support each other and nurture positivity. I felt comfortable expressing what made me nervous and then learned the skills to overcome my fears. The house we stayed at was right on the beach and the food was delicious. I highly recommend these Strut kiteboarding camps to anyone who wants to improve their kiting skills and build community in this sport!"

  • Michelle Edwards

    The Strut camp was special from the moment of arrival. The accommodations and setting were stunning. The food was fresh, healthy, delicious, and plentiful. Sensi and Nadja made everyone feel comfortable and focused on our strengths from the beginning, encouraging each of us to build on what we already did well and grow our confidence with on and off the water skills. I met amazing women with whom I plan to kite in the future. I entered camp still intimidated by the wind and others on the beach. I left more assured in my ability to manage situations and progressed my skills on the water. Definitely sign up for a camp- you won’t regret it!

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.
