Agree with loosescrew, and add it doesn't freaking snow there, either! Snow's fun to visit, but I sure wouldn't want to live in it, and sure as hell don't want to sail in it! _________________ Spennie the Wind Junkie

Maui's got pesky sharks, but we have to deal with the pesky Canadians! |

Yeah but the Canadians don't take a bite out of your leg. At least I don't think they do.... |

The Gorge is the best placein the world for windsurfing! Fresh water, no sand shifting out from under my feet during entry & exit. I'd rather get bashed by waves in the Gorge than Maui. If its blowing 35-40 I can still get in & out of the water without fear of getting knocked down by big salty waves & undertow. Give me the rocks of the gorge! The wind can be gusty, holey, or solid, but we have great waves to ride & jump. To sail the Gorge often is to love our Gorge. We have salmon & sturgeon, & no sharks. We have snow capped mountains! We can have dawn patrol & don't need to wait til 10 to sail. We have amazing sunset sessions. Maui is fun, but the Gorge ROCKS my world! |
