Description
This paragliding site in Noord-Holland, Netherlands, offers an exceptional dune ridge soaring experience. You can enjoy flights up to 40 km with some kiting in between. The site provides endless takeoff options, with one of the best spots located below the beach houses. Although you need to walk a bit, it is worth it. The region is known for its excellent soaring conditions along the North Sea Coast. The site record here is 17.5 km. Another nearby site has a record of 14.7 km, and yet another boasts a record of 34.7 km. Several launching possibilities are available from the beach, but be mindful of the environmental issues related to dune erosion. Some locals suggest using Langevelderslag, located south of this spot, as an alternative. If you choose to launch here, keep a low profile and start away from the crowds and parking lot. Always start from the beach and avoid stepping on the dune grass. Minimize sand movement while kiting up. The takeoff area can be very crowded in the summer, with many beach houses blocking access to the dunes. You will need to walk until the houses stop, and there is a fence. Use the small space where the houses end and the fence begins. Climbing over the fence in other areas is prohibited and may result in a fine. Wind conditions are crucial for a good flight. Ideal wind is W 6 m/s, but NW or SW 7 m/s is also suitable. You can start flying from W 4 m/s.
