Hi Windsurfers-
CGWA and the American Red Cross recognize that windsurfers are often each others’ first source for rescue in the Columbia River. Our beaches are safer with more people who are prepared to act in an emergency. On August 21st, CGWA and the Red Cross are partnering to get you certified in CPR, and to go through some real-life river scenarios with State Park Rangers.
