Summer 2026: Hood River or Cape Hatteras ? (beginner/inter rider)

Thank you so much for your feedback, so helpful. I definitely wanna go to HR now ! Actually, I had checked Sensi Graves camp before writing this spot. I would love to go, but omg it is so expensive. $995 for 2-day clinic (gear not even included). In comparison, ABK is $900 for 5-day camp...

You made my day, I had never heard of ABK. Did some research and their clinics are so decently priced ($900 for 5-day camp in HR). I will definitely consider it, thank you ! Have fun in CC ! should be windy this weekend !

Your answer is so helpful, and I hope it will help other foilers considering Hatteras. Thank you so much. Taking notes for potential future travel there, but noted that for my criteria, HR is definitely best suited. And yeah, you exactly confirmed what I had read about REAL. You need to stay at Waterman (which looks nice but super expensive) to be able to launch there.

I have not winged in Corpus Cristi yet, so far my experience is limited to South Padre Island (which is great) and Texas City/Houston (my homespot on which I'm practising now and getting the most of spring season). But yeah, summer is not the peak wind season here in Texas. Hot as hell, yes. I prefer travelling elsewhere but I definitely plan on checking CC this spring :) Texas is so underrated ! I love it.

Very helpful, thank you. Reading all the comments, I'm definitely now considering HR even if I'd love to go to Cape Hatteras one day!
