Simmer sail designer Jason Diffin on his summer get-away: The way it works here in The Gorge is- if it’s not windy on the river, then it’s windy on the coast. We have been getting some solid west swells and good wave sailing conditions this summer. The Pacific Northwest crew is growing, stoked and ripping!! I’ve been in touch with the boys back at home on Maui, and I know we’re getting more waves than they are!!! And if the wind refuses to blow, then there are plenty of other activities to keep us busy- like work, biking and fishing. The Gorge is an epic place to spend some time in the summer.
