Kite and windsurf beach on the Frisian shore of the IJsselmeer, a short ride from the old town of Workum. The lake is fresh, shallow and tide-free, so you can stand a long way out and the water stays flat even in a strong south-westerly. Schools teach here all season and it gets busy on summer weekends. Autumn storms whip up a short, steep chop.
