About

At Windance, we live for the thrill of harnessing the wind and waves. Since 1984, Windance has been the launch point for tens of thousands of windsurfers, kiters, and wingers, who trust us to provide the best wind sports gear and service in the industry. We are your DIY wind sports shop. Our top-quality gear, parts, service, and expert advice will have you out on the water shredding in no time.

Opened in an old dynamite warehouse in Hood River in 1984, Windance began as a small Boardshop, shaping sailboards and building and repairing windsurfing equipment. Windance was at the epicenter of windsurfing in the 80’s and 90’s, sponsoring competitions, gear swaps, and team riders. Windsurfers would meet up in the Windance parking lot every morning in the summer as a jumping off point to assess the weather, tune up their quivers, and then head out to chase the wind. It also seems like half the town has worked at Windance at one time or another. Later, Windance became the first windsurf shop to sell online before expanding to kiting, foiling, and winging.

New and used gear. Demos/rentals. Local guidance. Expert advice. We work and play in one of the windiest destinations in the world. Mt. Hood is only 45minutes away and Windance is right off the highway for your last minute needs.
