Destination Summary

The Belgian coast offers a very calm atmosphere in winter when the conditions are best. You can kite every wind direction from SE to N depending on the spot. Sometimes in Belgium the current can be very strong. Downwinders are recommended then. In summer there is less wind, but the atmosphere is very nice.
