About Gorge Performance

Gorge Performance (est. 1983) is the premier family-owned board shop in the Pacific Northwest.

Located in Portland, Oregon, Gorge Performance is not only walking distance from stand up paddling on the Willamette River, it's centrally located between three amazing playgrounds: the Oregon coast, Mt. Hood, and the Columbia River Gorge. This central location — and over 40 years experience — make Gorge Performance the ideal hub for PNW surfers, paddlers, snowboarders, skateboarders and wind junkies alike to find the best gear available and with the best service possible.

Bob and Kim say Thanks!

"Offering great service and a wide selection of the best brands in the business has always been our MO. But Gorge isn't just a warehouse of stuff. Meeting and helping our customers find their perfect ride is the heart of our business. We'll even help sell your used boards and keep you on the water by repairing them. We genuinely love these sports and bringing the community together by hosting parties, putting on races, and supporting organizations that work to protect our playgrounds. Bottom line, we believe what we DO matters just as much as what we sell. You have a choice where you shop and we work for your business every day. Thank you for choosing us!"
