Nice people but they took us to a small cove that was very windy. The locals later told me that Big Winds has a better teaching area.

We were left "holding the board". We were pleased to have had the chance to try our hand at stand up paddle boarding on the very hottest day of the summer, Great place, Hood River. However, as we were geared up and escorted to the waters' edge to embark on the boards along the river, we were absolutely not informed... More
