Fact of the matter is that virtually everyone who pole surfs around here is either driving to the gorge every chance they get or they have purchased really big (read formula) gear to ride very light winds.
During the mid summer, we are in a stable high pressure pattern that only produces wind right under thunderstorm downdrafts which also produce lightning.
The kind of wind that you are looking for usually happens when we get spring and fall storms with frontal passages (Mar-May, Late Sept-Freeze).
95% odds that your gear would be just an ornament for your car.
