Windance is fantastic…read more Great selection of gear, great vibes, the staff is always high-stoke and helpful. Definitely feels like a pillar of the windsport community, and not just in the gorge. The consignment area of the shop is a great amenity, and theyve got a pretty good demo fleet of boards, foils, etc if you want to try something out. Theyve also got the best windsport hardware section with all the different bolts, nuts, doodads etc that i seem to misplace at an alarming cadence. My singular complaint is that whenever im in town my bank account seems to mysteriously drain down... its the weirdest thing

I damaged my wing pretty good on a high-wind day at dougs, and that was after i'd self-repaired a…read morecouple small holes in the canopy that had accumulated over time. The drop-off process at Airtime was super easy--basically laid the wing out on the floor so they could take a look at it, and they quoted me $120 to do all the various canopy repairs i needed & then took down my information. I got a email confirmation with all the details of my work-order, and then a couple days later got an email telling me to come pick up the wing. Repairs look to be carefully & skillfully done, and the wing works great! I know they'll try to match colors if that's what you're after, but i basically asked them to make it distinctive. The guy checking me out called it the wabi-sabi treatment. All around great experience (other than the damage that necessitated the visit, obviously) -- thanks Airtime folks!

Lots of solids and neutrals, exactly what most women are looking for since they easily become the canvas of an outfit. And pops of color or stripes to mix it up. Sometimes I wish there was more variety, but like any store, it's hit or miss depending on time of year and personal needs. Make sure to check out the jewelry, always a small but nice selection of rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Many from local or Portland designers. There is always a collection of handbags with a great variety of Hobo bags of various styles and colors. Hobo bags are the best for traveling; they have lots of compartments and are designed well. Oh, and when you stop in, make sure to give her dog some lovin'! She is just the sweetest.
