About the spot

Schellinkhout has a shallower shoreline used for freeriding and lessons in winds from the southern and western sectors. Stronger winds generate noticeable Markermeer chop, and depth varies across the riding area.

Good conditions can make the small beach crowded. Launch from sand rather than the grassy dike. Yellow markers define the usable area. Beginners need supervision and sufficient clear space, because congestion around the launch can turn minor handling errors into problems for nearby riders.
