Denmark

Spot currently openIntermediate level 56 | 8.12

Overview

Hvide Sande is a unique spot offering an exceptional dual aspect: on the North Sea side, one of Europe's best wave kitesurf spots, and on the Ringkøbing Fjord side, a perfect flat water lagoon. This duality makes it one of Denmark's most versatile spots.

Located on the Holmsland Klit peninsula, Hvide Sande separates the North Sea from Ringkøbing Fjord. Riders can choose between wave sessions on the ocean side and flat water sessions on the fjord side depending on daily conditions.
