Kijkduin – Zandmotor

Den Haag, Netherlands, Netherlands

About this spot

The Zandmotor is a genuine engineering marvel turned accidental kite paradise. The man-made sand peninsula creates a shallow tidal lagoon on its lee side — flat water, no current, no waves — while the North Sea does its thing metres away. When the tide drops, the lagoon expands into almost ideal wing foiling territory. It works with almost any wind direction because the lagoon is always in the lee.
