About the spot

Dijkmanshuizen is Texel's designated seasonal Wadden-side venue. A small beach leads into shallower water used for freeriding with winds from the eastern to southern sectors. Chop and tide alter depth and the options for returning.

Limited launching space and sensitive surroundings require independent, controlled riding. Access applies to this specific zone, not arbitrary launches along Texel's Wadden shore. First-time visitors should establish the boundaries and suitable water-level window before preparing equipment.
