Overview

Kitesurf

The must-visit spot in the Netherlands with probably the best freestyle conditions: close to the beach, you'll find flat water with a bit of chop, and 400m further to your right, 2m waves. The spot is quite large, but also very popular with kitesurfers.

This is the spot that works when other spots have off-shore wind conditions.

No restaurant, no school on site.
