The document provides a history of windsurfing in the Columbia River Gorge from the 1980s to present day. In the early 1980s, windsurfing on the river was seen as unusual but gained popularity. The Columbia Gorge Windsurfing Association was founded in 1987 to advocate for access to windsurfing sites. Over the decades, they helped secure funding and develop amenities at various beaches. Windsurfing in the Gorge is now well established, though the association continues working to improve and protect access sites for the sport.

Book Preview, Organization Horsepower: Thinking Like a Motorcycle Racing TeamHarrison Withers
Business can be abstract and detached. By comparison, motorcycle racing is primal and visceral, and has an unmistakable goal.
Harrison Withers, expert talent development consultant and amateur motorcycle racer, has cleverly brought those two worlds together, finding unique parallels between concepts of business and those of motorcycle racing. He views the relationship between the two through the lens of technology, people, and performance. It all starts with the motivation to engage why business practitioners and racers alike not only accept the risk, but embrace and ultimately love it.
Analogies abound between business and racing: Where people fit on the team, how performance is measured, how it is improved, and how to put predictive models into practice; competitive class structures, organizational design, the role of simulation in testing and practice, and race-day execution.
Harrison's thoughts bring to light some connections we've never thought of before and in so doing given us a fresh perspective on business. Book foreword by Erik Buell, motorcycling legend and managing member of Erik Buell Racing.

3. Early 1980s, Continued (Still Pre-CGWA) “ Sailing on a river? How goofy is that?!” - Bruce Peterson, Owner, Sailworks “ I remember being told about this windy place on the Columbia River. We thought it was probably a pretty stupid place to sail. Who would want to sail on a river with a current?” - Gary Gorman, then rep for Gaastra, Bare Wetsuits and Windsure, among others

5. 1986: Gorge national Scenic Act passed by Congress Provides specific instructions for the protection and enhancement of the scenic, natural, cultural, and recreational resources within the NSA; and promotes economic development within the Gorge's existing urban areas.
The scene was set: “new kids” (aka windsurfers” needed a united voice to speak for their beach access needs. CGWA formed during a time of high energy & engagement.
What the Gorge lacked in beaches, it made up for in its social life: Pink parties (and weddings) Moe Dixon was banned from singing “Dancing in the Streets” at River City by the local police, because too many people didn’t need the encouragement The Gorge and windsurfing was youthful, new, exciting, ENGAGED – make a headline
18 beaches were used between Stevenson & Celilo, including Swell City, Horsethief Lake, & Koberg Beach. Sites were based on existing sailboat/public access Windsurfing was new to the region and not a recognized user group Vibe was one of feeling threatened and fighting for access Passion and energy abundant to create accessible beaches “ get involved, because if you don’t the crowded beaches will go away.” There was a real feeling of threatened access.
Bingen Sailboard Park, circa 1992
When there were beach improvement opportunities, the engaged community jumped to. Because if they didn’t, there were no beaches.
Some notable CGWA projects INCLUDE: Viento
Previously had to launch from floating docks
Our message is positive, active, stoked, and lets people choose their own level of engagement. We have a very strong and supportive membership base as is, and as long as we keep doing a decent job, they aren’t going anywhere. People know that if they don’t become a member, the beaches won’t go away, and we shouldn’t tell them otherwise. Sample marketing- our marketing goal is to steer people to our website, where they can choose their level of engagement: Read the news Get the news delivered to their inbox via email campaigns Short and regular updates and two-way discussion on facebook All of these are soft-sells to become a member (which you can also do on our website!)
Our goal in outgoing marketing materials is to steer people to our website, where they can choose their level of engagement: read the news, get the news delivered to their inbox via email campaigns, or chat with us on facebook.
Our website is easily updated with relevant and timely news, which is often requoted in blogs and other news sources. We are the source for Gorge windsurfing news (a goal in our original 2007 strategic plan).
Our website is of global relevance Shows usage spikes relative to news stories and Gorge events- peak usage is in summer, decline in usage already apparent this fall
Two-way conversation focused on stoke-sharing and active engagement with Gorge windsurfing
Our facebook analytics show a growing and engaged group, with age and gender pretty representative of the Gorge windsurfing community.
We have an email list of 1100 valid emails, which we use to keep people informed. They can opt-in on our website, and we are seeing continual growth in this list via our website sign up form.
Our email open & click-through rates are far above average for nonprofit and recreation industries. This means our audience is engaged and interested.
Beaches: focusing on the highest use area, which is Hood River. Almost every Gorge windsurfer feels an impact from that. Contributed $70,000 from Doug’s Funds to new Waterfront Park for river access ramp Negotiated usage of Jensen Beach, and build semi-hospitable area Hook improvements We’re engaged in the user group interactions
Youth program has evolved since inception in 2000. Gorge Groms launched this year, with 27 families purchasing season passes, and many more participating in the 5 clinics (this was King of the Hook prep).
Big Brothers Big Sisters clinic is a way to connect with the local community
People like to know that we are advocating on their windsurfing behalf, via testimony at public hearings (like this image from the Washington State budget hearing that I spoke at this summer), or written letters of support for beach improvements. They react when there’s a call to action- no PFD for SUPs petition, San Diego beach closure petition.
Social engagement within windsurfing community via swap meets, movie premiers, events like Windfest and King of the Hook. People enjoy the opportunity to mingle with windsurfers.
