Heard that the Event Site will be closed for the Gorge Games for several days. True? |

should be interesting to see how many windsurfers call the port and sheriffs office complaining about how unfair life is... maybe during next year's gorge games they can get the spit as a fair trade off while we enjoy a day and half at the event site during the fourth of july.... |

As far as I know, Windsurfing is allowed from the sandbar always except when it's rented out. They can launch from the new beach with ease though. Kiters are truly crippled in that sense. |

My point being that I paid for an Event Site Parking pass. Will I be allowed to park, and if not, for how many days? |

Actually the laugh is on you... anyone who's windsurfed at the Event Site for more than a season knows that its, ummm an "event site" and as such has "events" that result in it being closed to the public... like the kiting demo they've had for the past number of years... we saw that, and just said "cool, ok, lets go somewhere else..." and we didnt' even have to call the Port!  |

Eric your pass will work at the Spit during the GG but I doubt it will work at the Event Site since they are having events happen there. The spit will still be open to kiters during the GG. |

Nice if GGames could leave an open path on the east side simply to walk out to the sand bar. |
