About the spot

Zuidlaardermeer is an inland venue with deeper water and wind chop. Southerly winds suit the local zone but can arrive gusty after crossing land. Shore obstacles reduce the margin for errors during launching and returning.

The location suits independent riders with reliable upwind control and experience in variable lake winds. A broad expanse of water does not allow launching anywhere. Use only the designated kite area and check for adequate clear space and a controlled return before rigging.
