Gorge Haps, Specials, News, and More...
We're a snowboard shop again! Snow's dumping this week!! Time to get set up for the much-anticipated La Niña super season. 2011 gear is out. BIG markdowns on closeout gear. We have lots of used boards available too. No matter what your budget, you'll find plenty of options.
NEW online surfboard shopping feature! Buy any GSI surfboard online using this link and we'll get credit as though you shopped locally with us! AND you get the ENTIRE GSI selection to choose from. It's a Win-Win! We have lots of GSI boards in stock, but this method ensures you get the board you want and the convenience of home delivery - anywhere in the US. Shipping cost is very reasonable (i.e. just $29 to ship a 6'6 to Portland). Nice.
New DVD titles in stock: Surf: Scratching the Surface, Castles in the Sky, High 5, BS. Snow: NowHere, F*** IT, Right Brain Left Brain, In Color, Bon Voyage, Respect Your Elders and more....

Another reason to love ...LOST: New surfskates! We got 'em! Read more on the Skate page.
SUP demo fleet taking shape. It's not a bad idea to try before you buy given the different board options available. More info on the SUP page.
SUP News....QuickBlade paddles in stock. Quickblade products are the natural evolution of paddle performance founded on years of competitive racing by Jim Terrell. The signature feature of all Quickblade paddles is excellent performance. A quick catch at the beginning and a clean exit at the end of the stroke prompted the name Quickblade.
We also have rail tape, nose and tail guards, stick on handles, brand new Gorge paddle covers, board bags, deck traction....more SUP stuff arriving daily.

Closin' out the 2010 Snowboard Gear: On sale 30% - 70% off! Here's The List, in all its glory. Lots of Burton, Ride, DC still in stock. Crazy deals.

Pack it or rack it? We stock a variety of Thule cargo carriers, the perfect answer for hauling your gear and keeping it dry and out of sight. We also stock a selection of cross bars and accessories for cars and trucks. If we don't have it, we can get it.
