scheveningen kitesurf, wingfoil and windsurf spot
Netherlands
Overview
Scheveningen Noorderstrand is located south of the Scheveningen pier, with a wide beach and an active kite community. The area directly north of the northern harbor pier is used by surfers, followed by a breakwater where the kite zone begins. Launch area north of beach access point 34.
Best for intermediate to advanced riders due to breakwaters and currents. Kitesurf association Jumpteam (Strandweg 3, Scheveningen) offers membership (€65/year) with heated showers, changing rooms, bar, terrace and a rescue boat. More info: NKV Spotkaart
