Spot de Knokke | RBSC

Knokke | RBSC kitesurf, wingfoil and windsurf spot

Belgium · Vlaams Gewest

51.36 | 3.32

Overview

Spot on the North Sea so there can be nice waves, the advantage is that there are Breakwaters/Jetties 50-80 m from the shore so it's a bit more protected for launching. The launch is easy as it's a sandy beach.
There are 2 kite schools on the spot: Royal Kitesurf School and Surfers Paradise, possibility to rent equipment but it's not cheap either. Be careful not to go into swimming areas in spring/summer as it can get crowded, but ask the 2 schools if in doubt. Surfers Paradise also has a rescue boat just in case.
