What is the state of Windsurfing and Kiteboarding in the Columbia River Gorge and how do you get into these sports? What’s it like to harness the wind with a sail on a windsurfer, or loft softly into the air on a kite board? In this special edition of Stand Up Paddle the World Radio, we talk with three ladies who discuss their passions for these sports and the changing demographics and physical characteristics of each. We talk with Laura Mills in detail about kiteboarding near the shores of the Columbia River during a party held in Stevenson, Washington. Come along with us as we learn about some of the other water sports out there in God’s Country–The Columbia River Gorge!
