Patrick, nice find, kite rental 2.5 km from airfield, thanks!
Neujellingsdorf airfield on Fehmarn island would spring to mind… Also one of the very few privately run airfields in Germany and, according to the owner, Germany’s smallest (not: shortest) airfield.
Beach near Calais airport is nice for sand/water surfing, never tried but saw many “char a voile” and wave surfers while on downwind
With your geographic constraints, you better have a warm swiming suite !
Thisted, EGTS is about 2 miles from Klitmoller. I don’t surf, but it is suppose to be the place to go in Northern Europe
Within walking distance is quite limiting, otherwise Shoreham beach is pretty good
It’s not walking distance a maybe little bit far but GMMH Dakhla is always full offend surfers !
There’s some spots near Southend EGMC
Are there any wind or kitesurfers on the forum? Own plane seems ideal for this. Check where there is good wind, pack up and go. Even for a day.
Could you recommend spots in the Baltic or North Sea? Perfect place would be one that has a wide beach within walking distance of the airfield and is exposed to wind.
Places I’ve been to are:
- Jastarnia (EPJA). Walking distance to both north (waves) and south (flat) beaches.
- Bornholm (EKRN). Need a car/taxi and go to get to the beach.
- Heringsdorf (EDAH). Didn’t kite surf myself, but one could go to Świnoujście by car. There’s a wide beach.
Places I’m considering: Sylt (EDXW), Wangerooge (EDWG), Texel (EHTX).
I’m not mentioning Italy, Greece, Spain, etc. They’re too far from me for a day trip.
