Beach

This is a Fjord situated in both residential and agricultural land. There are a number of small man made beaches to launch from. If the wind is light be careful as it may not be possible to land on a beach and you may need to ditch your kite in the water. Lots of man made hazards such as moored boats, jetties and houses. Would not go there if you are a kitesurf beginner. Edit
