Well, ISOBARS,

About half the sailors at the hatch are wearing helmets now. Too many out of control people at the Hatch. Even several of the shop people that I know are always wearing helmets. Wear a Helmet and save a brain, or what is left of it. One lady today was screaming for help floating down the river and several guys stopped to help her. One guy even swam out. She said she had a panic attack. Ow well. And she had a helmet on also.

Hi Dave here from Windance,

Welcome to the Gorge, it's a great place to play and I hope you get good winds. We have rentals again plus we use Warterplay for our windsurfing lessons. Let us know if you need any advice or help to make your trip great.

Hey Chip... when I get back to NY I will give you betters tips of what to do once here... but trust me... 100L is gonna be only whend there is "no" wind here at the gorge.... Chip... today I was usind a 76L with a 3.7 sail.... and you know me.... And trust me..,some time I was overpowered... hahahhaa... but is lovely... cuz there is also big waves once the wind is like that... and get into the air here is 300% guarantee (like it or not)

And for sure you will need rent a car. cuz the only way to advoid go to the rental store every 5 minutes to change your gears for the right ones for the current wind is for your 190lbs : Is having all this : boards= a 100L, an 80L and a 76L and sails= 5.2, 4.7 and 3.7 AND TRUST ME,you will need have all this with you all the time.... wind conditions here change from day to day and time to time.... I recomend you RRD boards... but when I get back in NY We will talk...
