KITESURFING AND WINDSURFING

Welcome to the water sports paradise: Makkum. Whatever the weather: you'll nearly always find windsurfers and kitesurfers here. The IJsselmeer lake at Makkum is one of the seven kitesurfing hotspots of Southwest Friesland. There's often enough wind on the lake and the shallow water makes it very suitable for beginners. Have you never surfed before? Why not take a few lessons at one of the many surfing schools?
