Denmark
Overview
Thorsminde is located on the west bank of Nissum Fjord, on a 900m wide peninsula between the fjord and the North Sea. It's one of Europe's windiest spots.
The launch is particularly appealing, with a vast meadow leading to the rigging area and a small sandy beach. The spot offers a huge shallow lagoon, perfect for kitesurfers of all levels. It's popular with German and Danish riders, but there's so much space you'll always find your own area.
