HI beej,
The Columbia has all sorts of conditions. Expert to beginner. Flat water, swells, current, and no current.
Hit 3-mile for the largest flat water spot on the Columbia. It also has steady winds. You launch directly into a huge lagoon protected on all 4 sides with no current. Plenty of space. |

I think it is around exit 150 on I-84. The exit sign says Three Mile Canyon, about 15 miles East of Arllington. There is nothing there so bring everything you need. Looks like a fun flat water local. and the sweel is said to be good as well

Are the snakes venomous or just creepy? Are the locals murderers or just line cutters?
Either way, I may steer clear. Bummer. Sounded pretty cool. |

looks good to me, I will be in boardman for a 10 days first of August. nice to know there are other spots to kite other than Arlington. Tried kiting boardman last 2 years but winds are unreliable and those damn goat head weeds put 15 holes in my leading edge even though I pumped up on clean pavement and drift launched. Still get holes.
Maybe I can run over some snakes and toss them at some locals if they mess with my lines |
