About this spot
Columbia River Gorge – Arlington is a kitesurf and windsurf spot in the United States. Arlington is around 110 km east of Hood River (I-84, exit 137); parking is behind the large grain elevator. W wind, sometimes very strong, against the current creates steep, head-high waves – popular for jumping. Water start and gybe are a must; free gravel car park with a toilet block.
The spot works best with wind from W; the windiest period is Jun–Sep. Depending on the swell there are waves. It suits intermediates and advanced riders.
