WELCOME

We’re the Columbia Gorge Wind & Water Association (CGW2.org), a decades-old 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization helping to make The Columbia River Gorge a better place for Wind-Riders since 1987.  We work with Federal, State, County, Municipal, Tribal, and private authorities to establish, maintain, and protect quality Gorge launch-sites for Windsurfers, Kiters, Wingers, Paddlers, and Foilers.

We operate and help support Columbia River Gorge Youth, Safety, and River Rescue Programs.

CGW2.org has ushered in generations of Gorge Wind-Riders and has helped to make the Columbia River Gorge a magnet for wind-sport industry innovation.

Our job is to advocate for all Gorge Wind-Riders and help make The Gorge a better place for all of them.
