: Charlie, you should look a little more at the site of the outfit
: that makes them. Looks pretty promising:

: Developed and based out of the Columbia River Gorge, home of some
: of the nastiest winds available for surfboarding...

I loved the advertising hype ;)

1.5 meter sail is tiny, might work on the gorge where there is lots of wind funnelled down right at the surface, not many places though have winds like that. In most places there are enough things in the way at the surface that there is little consistant wind at the surface so you'll sit there wishing you could sail.
