Never been to the Gorge, yet. Raul has been going there for how long? The only observation I can offer is that the quality of the wind may differ there from your competition venues. The wind is pretty gusty there right Raul? If you are in serious training that difference if it is one might be significant.

NE California and Sherman Island come to mind as does Baja.


Going there since 2000 for 2 weeks each year in July. It's not as gusty as people make it out to be, although it can sometimes easily cycle from 20 to 30 kts every so often. Sometimes its rock steady.

Baja Mex south of Ensenada on the Pacific side can easily be 25-30+ kts during early summer as well, of course there is nothing down there so you have to camp.

Galveston is 4-6 hours closer to LA than Corpus Christi, and maybe a few kts less

Galveston
