As a first time kiter here at the gorge the site can be a bit intimidating. Coach Erik Jensen of Oregon Kiteboarding made my experience here fun, memorable and above all safe. Helmet BB talk comms were a big help throughout our sessions and especially during launch and landing at the event site which can be tricky especially on a busy holiday weekend.
Can’t wait until my next visit!

"I just had my first kiteboarding lessons last week with Oregon Kiteboarding. The whole experience was excellent. The instruction was tailored to fit me perfectly (I used to windsurf) and I appreciated the emphasis on safety and developing good habits. My instructor, Tanner was very knowledgeable and personable. And he was totally cool when we both thought I’d lost the board and he’d searched for it on the jet ski (we eventually found it!). Needless to say, I am hooked and looking forward to my next lesson and progressing into a proficient kiteboarder."
