Hejsager Strand kitesurf, wingfoil and windsurf spot

Denmark

Overview

Hejsager Strand is an 800 m beach on the east coast of southern Jutland, facing the Lillebælt (Little Belt), between Haderslev and Kolding. The wind is remarkably stable as it passes over the hills behind the beach, creating an acceleration effect. Water gets deep quickly — you must be able to relaunch your kite and water-start. Exemplary safety infrastructure (emergency phones, defibrillators every 700 m).
