Coming to the Gorge, looking for lessons

Hey folks, I'm a beginner looking for lessons. I'll be visiting the Portland area next week and I'd like to dedicate some time (1-2 days) for lessons. I've had very mixed results with getting good lessons in the past. Twice I've had good instructors and poor wind and twice I've had good wind and very poor instructors. I'd really appreciate any advice the locals can give regarding good instructors, just searching the web for instructor sites doesn't give me nearly a good enough read on the true abilities of the teacher. Thanks!

I think Tonia is one of the best around hit her up for lessons. She uses a jetski and I think she has those helments with the radios in them now.
