Farø kitesurf and wingfoil spot
Denmark
Overview
Farø is a small island in the Storstrømmen strait, between Sjælland and Falster, connected by the Farø bridges. The spot is on the causeway toward Bogø, with flat water areas on both sides. The frequent Venturi effect means Farø often has wind when other Sjælland spots are calm. The shallow water over the sandbanks provides a large rideable area.

Strong currents in the Storstrømmen strait. Maritime traffic under the bridges. EU Bird Protection Area: from June to August, ride only north of Farø.
