17 miles. One river. Unlimited bragging rights.

The Gorge Blowout returns July 25–26, 2026, sending riders from Stevenson, Washington to Hood River, Oregon in one of the most iconic downwind races in the world.

Foilers, kiters, windsurfers, and parawingers will battle the Columbia’s legendary swell, chasing speed, glory, and a place in Gorge history.

Whether you’re racing for the podium or just looking to survive the ride with a smile, this is the weekend you’ll be talking about all year.

Tag a friend and comment 💥 if you are ready!
