Big Winds Hood River

Easy location to find. Rented E-Bikes today for a family outing. The staff are very friendly and we’re able to help with getting everyone’s seat adjustments. We were given instructions on how to gear change, bike power assist settings before leaving the parking lot. Excellent day for a ride! Will use them again.

Only great things about this awesome store. They've got great stuff and it's clean & organized but more than anything the staff are just SO nice, all of them. You walk in and they are just eager to help and not pressuring you to "buy or get out". Just super nice people that seem to love the same stuff their customers love. If they have what I need, I will go out of my way to go here.

Just starting my journey into wing foiling and out of all the shops, Big Winds is the best customer service. Eddy and all the staff so far have been top notch! Clean organized showroom compared to some of the other competitors! I'll be back for my next board progression purchase!

Can't say enough positive things about Bigwinds. I have been a loyal customer over ten or probably closer to 20 years. Wide selection of boards to demo and buy assisted by working with very knowledgeable staff. I have bought two windsurf boards and a SUP from Bigwinds. Different staff with individuals specializing in kiting, foiling and windsurfing. Also a recent addition is a master board repairer who was able to fix my board delamination problem and now it looks better than new.

Although she fell down a lot my wife had a great time using the gear rented by this company. Very helpful in providing instructions and they have very good equipment. Nice spot for beginners to try to learn how to windsurf.

Ask for Heidi! She is an energetic, welcoming and informative instructor! Looking forward to some merch. Like sunglasses holder so I don't loose my sunglasses while having so much fun!

Friendly and knowledgeable staff! I got to rent/try a board before purchasing so I knew exactly what I was getting into.

Big Winds exceeded my expectations. I was having a really hard time finding a knowledgeable windsurfing shop to help me pick the right equipment for my needs near me in Michigan. I had been learning to windsurf with my dad's obsolete setup, and finally was ready to pull the trigger on a setup to get me to the next level. The Big Winds Team helped to explain my different options and pick the perfect equipment for my needs. I was worried about the expense shipping of such large bulky stuff, but their air freight arrangements FAR exceeded my expectations on affordability. They shipped via air carrier to my local airport (Detroit) for a flat rate and I just picked up from the terminal, eazy peazy. The only opportunity for improvement would have been if the team could provide dimensions of the parcels so I could have been more prepared for pickup. I was worried my small truck would be pushing it, but it worked out. If you're outside of Oregon and struggling to find good advice and a seamless experience, look no further.
