Looking to buy, sell, or trade wind sports gear?
---
Swap meets are a great way to get into wind sports on a budget, pick up a hidden gem, or find a good new owner for that great gear in your garage that's yearning to get out on the water again with a new owner.
Hood River has a long tradition of swap meets going back decades right here in the Windance parking lot and are a gear fest most wingers, kiters, and windsurfers can only dream about. But for lucky locals and visitors, they're a trove of great gear and amazing people. A place to reconnect with old friends and make new ones. A place to share stories and hot tips. And a cornerstone of wind sports culture in The Gorge.
