Windsurfing in the Gorge is a haven for water sports enthusiasts. The Gorge is a natural wind tunnel that creates wind and waves for wind junkies. The windsurfing craze started in the 1970s and was recognized as the catalyst for bringing hundreds of windsurfers (beginners to experts) from all over the world to the Gorge, which became known as the “windsurfing capital” of the world.
