Old Young's Bay is a kitesurfing spot located in a sheltered bay of the Columbia estuary at Astoria, Oregon. This calm bay offers a water body protected from ocean waves and the main river current, while still benefiting from west to northwest winds. It is a more accessible alternative to the exposed estuary spots, ideal for intermediate riders seeking calmer conditions in the Astoria area.
