===== Dealers/Equipment =====
* [[https://aldercreek.com/|Alder Creek]] Portland. No surfskis but they have large stock of paddling accessories
* Giant Fish Portland, Oregon, (Out of Business Jan. 2026) Moved to Underwood, Oregon in the Gorge - high end, high quality lightweight/medium tops and bottoms, limestone neoprene. Small online company with products designed and dedicated for paddlers
* [[https://www.gorgeperformance.com/|Gorge Performance]] Portland, accessories like wetsuits and roof racks, but no surfskis
* [[http://www.wetsuit.com/|Promotion]] one of their bases is in Hood River where they have a large water windsport clientele. They make their gear onsite and have been known to quickly make custom versions of their water protection clothing on request if you visit their store and they can measure you. They also offer a large selection of deeply discounted factory second wetsuit gear at their store (if the reason for the discount is a cosmetic blemish - who cares, right?).
