Columbia River Gorge WA Kite and Wing Instructor

We are excited to announce that we are seeking instructors to join our team for the summer of 2025 in the stunning Columbia River Gorge, located in Lyle, Washington. Our location is just 15 minutes east of Hood River, Washington, and we believe it's one of the best-kept secrets in the Gorge. The Lyle Sandbar is an exceptional spot for learning to kite and wing, offering a unique combination of waist-deep water and consistent wind conditions that surpass those found in Hood River during the season.

Our operations are based out of a small office overlooking the river, and we access the sandbar via a rubber dinghy loaded with gear for lessons. This setup allows for a personalized and intimate learning experience. But what really sets our location apart is the opportunity for instructors to also pursue their own passion for riding. The flat water from the Klickitat River creates a perfect spot for freestyle training, and it's not uncommon to see pro riders training big air tricks during the summer months. On days with winds of 35 knots or more, the channel also experiences a bit of swell, making it ideal for surfing. If you're looking for a unique and exciting opportunity to share your knowledge and skills with others while also pursuing your own riding passions, we invite you to apply for an instructor position with our team.
