Revisiting some favorite places #35: When the hot, dry air from the east side of the Cascades meets the cooler air of the west side-- The result is wind! Windsurfers come from all over to the Columbia River Gorge to take advantage! The town of Hood River, Oregon, is just about the capital of the windsurfing world.

That does look like fun - but too skilled for my klutzy self.

I have been wind surfing only a few times, and I can't believe the skill these guys have in strong winds and waves. What a dramatic image.

El viento es fundamental, para esa actividad.
Me ha gustado ese bello paisaje marino.

Una escena muy interesante. No había imaginado la posibilidad de hacer surf en un rio.
Un abrazo.

Wonderful photo. It really conveys the feeling of movement and challenging high winds!

That looks wonderful and a bit rough for them but they would really enjoy it anyway.
