Kornwerderzand
Kornwerderzand is a kitesurfing spot located at the Frisian end of the Afsluitdijk, on the shores of the IJsselmeer. It is easily accessible from the dike, with free parking by the shore and a small beach for launching.
The spot is known for its often strong winds, in a typical Dutch polder setting. It is a popular place for experienced riders looking for flat water on this inland lake.
Navigation takes place along the dike, with a grassy area to inflate the kites and a direct entry into the water.
