Located on Macadam Ave in Portland, Oregon, our location is 4 miles south of downtown by the picturesque Willametter River. Within 90 minutes, you can reach the beach for surfing, and just 60 minutes away is the mountain for fresh pow.
Indeed! We are passionate about helping surfers find new homes for boards they are no longer riding. Take a look at what's currently on our consignment surfboard rack.
While we do not buy used gear, we have an excellent consignment surf program. This is a fantastic way to sell your used surfboard. Additional information can be found here.

Customer Reviews
One of the few shops left with an extensive SUP collection. If you are a standup paddler - this board shop is a pitstop you should not miss. Not only do they have a fantastic collection - they also have boards for all different types of riding. Whether you are a newbie, intermediate, or advanced rider - there is something for you here.
They continue to be the best multi-surf shop in the Portland area. I have been coming here since the 90's.
This shop has the best employees, they are so nice and welcoming. I love visiting and checking everything out!
Had a great experience renting a surfboard from Gorge. I have passed this place for years commuting to work and this was the first time I ever rented anything from them. The staff was very friendly. Kim and Bob helped me get set up with the rental and securing the board on my truck. Talk about personal service. I like patronizing small/local businesses like Gorge because of their great service. Had a great experience renting from them. Can't recommend highly enough.
Very cool hole-in-the-wall surf/snowboard shop. Chill homey vibes, good selection, very knowledgeable and friendly staff.
I purchased a new snowboard with boots and bindings and got a nice discount with a couple freebies added in. Will be back!
Thanks for the top-notch customer service! I am new to surfing and these guys helped me get set up with a board and wetsuit. Super friendly and welcoming!
Gorge Performance is a honey hole of stoke. It's exactly how I want my surf shops - appropriately packed with boards of all kinds (surf, skate, snow, kite, foil, SUP), loaded with gear/clothing/stuff related to the aforementioned boards, and a helpful staff that can answer every one of your questions.
Didn’t even know about this place till a friend said they carried Onewheel. Basically went in tested out their demo Onewheel and fell in love with it. Emily and Bob was amazing to deal with. Emily answered all my questions and help me with my purchase. Customer service is def 100. The whole staff is friendly and helpful:)
