First Thursday Movie Night @ Gorge
We'll be showcasing new releases, iconic throwbacks and local independent gems, both in short form and longer feature-ish length films. Surf, snowboard, skate...if it's going sideways, we're all about it.
Don't worry if you're running late, it's casual! Drop in and hang out...it's free!
************
The August First Thursday is going to be a special one! Calling all you folks who are nostalgic for the good ol' days of 60's and 70's longboard hotdogging, this month's feature film will scratch that itch. "Some Like It Classic" was shot in 16mm film over 7 years and is narrated by Robert "Wingnut" Weaver.

Located in the John's Landing neighborhood in Portland, Oregon, just 4 miles south of downtown and by Willamette Park. We're at the hub of all that the PNW has to offer: 90 miles from the coast, 70 miles from the mountain, and 50 miles from the Columbia River Gorge, to name a few.
We consign used surfboards and paddleboards for a mere $20 intake fee and 10% of the sales price. Having the best seller's deal around, our consignment inventory is top notch and always changing. Take a look at what's currently on our consignment surfboard rack.
While we do not buy used gear, we have an excellent consignment surf program. This is a fantastic way to sell your used surfboard. Additional information can be found here.
We rent everything you need for surfing the Oregon coast: Surfboards, wetsuits, booties and soft racks for your vehicle if needed.
Our rentals are first-come-first served, no reservation needed. We are closed on Sundays so our Saturday to Monday One Day rental for $50 is the best deal around, by far.
Rental information and rates can be found here.
We do our best to keep our website inventory in sync with what's in-store. In other words, if you see it on our website you can also come see it in-person at our Portland, Oregon shop.
Feel free to reach out for assistance. Call us at 503-246-6646, email info@gorgeperformance.com, or drop in to chat in person.
Customer Reviews
One of the few shops left with an extensive SUP collection. If you are a standup paddler - this board shop is a pitstop you should not miss. Not only do they have a fantastic collection - they also have boards for all different types of riding. Whether you are a newbie, intermediate, or advanced rider - there is something for you here.
They continue to be the best multi-surf shop in the Portland area. I have been coming here since the 90's.
This shop has the best employees, they are so nice and welcoming. I love visiting and checking everything out!
Had a great experience renting a surfboard from Gorge. I have passed this place for years commuting to work and this was the first time I ever rented anything from them. The staff was very friendly. Kim and Bob helped me get set up with the rental and securing the board on my truck. Talk about personal service. I like patronizing small/local businesses like Gorge because of their great service. Had a great experience renting from them. Can't recommend highly enough.
Very cool hole-in-the-wall surf/snowboard shop. Chill homey vibes, good selection, very knowledgeable and friendly staff.
I purchased a new snowboard with boots and bindings and got a nice discount with a couple freebies added in. Will be back!
Thanks for the top-notch customer service! I am new to surfing and these guys helped me get set up with a board and wetsuit. Super friendly and welcoming!
Gorge Performance is a honey hole of stoke. It's exactly how I want my surf shops - appropriately packed with boards of all kinds (surf, skate, snow, kite, foil, SUP), loaded with gear/clothing/stuff related to the aforementioned boards, and a helpful staff that can answer every one of your questions.
Didn’t even know about this place till a friend said they carried Onewheel. Basically went in tested out their demo Onewheel and fell in love with it. Emily and Bob was amazing to deal with. Emily answered all my questions and help me with my purchase. Customer service is def 100. The whole staff is friendly and helpful:)
