"If you’re new to the sport, head first to the quieter waters in nearby Stevenson, 15 minutes west, for a personalized lesson with Cascade Kiteboarding before taking on the traffic around Hood River."

The most personalized and professional lesson in the Gorge.

Cascade Kiteboarding runs private kiteboarding lessons out of Stevenson, Washington, at the Port of Skamania waterfront on the Columbia River. This section of the Columbia River provides some of the most steady and consistent winds in the entire Columbia Gorge, with stunning scenery and very little kiteboarding traffic.

Founded by kiteboarding professional and advocate, Tonia Farman, Cascade Kiteboarding caters to individuals looking for a private and more personalized learning experience. The personalization of each lesson is what makes Cascade unique. Each lesson is customized to the student's level, progressing at a comfortable pace, but yet presenting challenges and benchmarks for the student to attain. Every lesson with Cascade is conducted with a waverunner and radio helmets for instant feedback and assistance, ultimately reducing the learning curve while increasing confidence and progression.

Getting more out of your kiteboarding lesson

Many kite schools teach at busy beaches with lots of other lessons going on simultaneously. We take the intimidating factors out of the learn-to-kiteboard learning curve, providing a private, highly-focused experience.

Taking a lesson from Cascade Kiteboarding, you will:

  • Learn with 100% jet ski assistance, all the time.
  • Learn in a private setting without other school traffic, onlookers or a peanut gallery.
  • Learn in consistent, steady winds, which builds confidence and shortens learning curve.
  • Learn with instant feedback with the use of HeadZone Radio Controlled instruction helmets.
  • Learn with the goal of long-term success, not just a quick ride without the key skills.

Giving back to the community while you learn to kiteboard!

$10 from each kiteboarding lesson is donated to Kiteboarding 4 Cancer, a 501 (c) 3 that fuels local cancer awareness, prevention, and treatment programs that are kicking ass without the expenses of high overhead or fancy marketing. Know that while you're taking your lesson, you're also giving to this great cause.
