On the water
Freshwater lake — flat water, no waves, no tides. Deep throughout (>2m) — no standing area. Calm conditions even in moderate wind. Good flat water for freestyle and freeride. No seagrass issues. Water temperature pleasant in summer. Avoid SE wind — directly offshore.
Parking
Parking at the chalet park (barrier — access card required, €30 deposit at reception). After the barrier, turn right to the grass rigging area. GPS: De Lithse Ham, Lithoijen, Noord-Brabant. Car recommended — no public transport to the spot.
Wind specificities
Works S to E (South, SSW, SW, W, NE, ENE, E). SE is directly offshore — do not go out. Beginners: SW and NE workable. Wind can be moderate and less consistent than coastal spots (inland location, surrounded by terrain). Good alternative when coastal spots have too much wind or are fully offshore.
Hazards
⚠️ Water more than 2m deep throughout — no standing area. Return can be difficult if wind drops: use a board with enough volume to sail back even in light wind. SE is directly offshore — strictly avoid. Access to the spot requires a barrier card obtainable at the chalet park reception (€30 deposit). Winter: grass rigging area may be muddy and impassable.
