About the spot

Surfers Paradise is at Knokke's eastern end, reached via Appelzakstraat with parking in Zwinlaan. Its established kite centre teaches beach control, bodydragging and waterstarts. Experienced riders have an open North Sea venue for freeriding and waves.

Tide, surf and coastal currents determine conditions; the dune setting does not guarantee calm water. Rig and launch only in the designated beach sector, clear of fences, boats and other users. Sensitive natural areas lie towards Zwin. Club and lesson opening times vary seasonally, so confirm the support available before travelling.
