Ribersborg kitesurf, wingfoil and windsurf spot

Sweden · Skåne län

55.60 | 12.96

Overview

Ribersborg is an urban kitesurfing spot located in the heart of Malmö, Sweden's third largest city. The spot is on Ribersborg beach (nicknamed "Ribban" by locals), facing the Öresund with a view of the Öresund Bridge and Copenhagen in the distance. The westward exposure facing the Öresund catches the prevailing southwesterly and westerly winds. The beach is long and sandy, providing good rigging space. The body of water is the Öresund with varied conditions. Waters are relatively shallow near the shore. Ribersborg is the most accessible kitesurfing spot in Malmö, easily reachable by bike or public transport from the city centre. The famous Kallbadhuset (cold bath house) is nearby. The spot gets very busy on windy days. The spot is suitable for intermediate riders. Proximity to Öresund shipping traffic requires some vigilance.
