Main US Race List

Gorge Downwinding

  • Gorge Downwind Championships Surfski/OC/SUP - As of 2020 if there are any significant complaints to be made about this week long event, the one that might be most substantial would be that the race has gotten so wildly popular that it is increasingly difficult to obtain a slot if you do not have one of the celebrity reservations.
