2010 Demo Plans
Big Winds will once again put together the largest demo fleet in the Columbia River Gorge, and will be stocked with the hottest windsurfing gear for 2010. Located in Hood River, Oregon, our shop is minutes away from some of the best bump and jump sailing in the world. Our rental season runs from May to October, during which our rental department will be happy to make your sailing dreams come true!
Our full package includes a windsurf board, three sails and a mast, along with all the other hardware and accessories necessary to get out on the water. For 2010, we're also offering reduced-diameter skinny masts for sail sizes 4.7 and below. We'll even hook you up with rack pads and rack straps for your car, so you're free to cruise up and down the Gorge seeking out your favorite conditions.
What's more, you're free to exchange your gear as often as you like (depending on availability, of course). No matter if you want to try a larger sail or a smaller board, the Big Winds rental department has you covered.
Let us make your trip to the Gorge a great one. For more information on rentals give us a call at 888-509-4210 or email us at .
Don't Miss Our Beach Center!
For summer 2010, we will have the same performance windsurfing gear that we offer at our shop available for demo at our Beach Center, right next to the Event Site.
Our Beach Center will be open seven days a week all summer long. This is the ultimate in convenience if you want to windsurf without messing with a roof rack! Plus, we even offer stand up paddling rentals at our Beach Center, great for those rare no-wind days!
Try It Before You Buy It!
If you choose to buy a new board after demoing one from us, we'll apply one day's worth of your rental fee towards your purchase!
2009 Demo Gear Now On Sale

"I wanted to drop a note of thanks for the excellent job your team did for me on my Gorge trip last week. The rental gear was top notch, the service was great and everyone was very helpful. In my 15+ years of traveling to the Gorge, I have never had a better trip. Your facility allows me to no longer drag all my gear through the airport (hassle) and still have great equipment to sail. I’m already planning next year’s trip.
"Thanks for making my trip a pleasure."
