Flat water, seldom small waves, shallow almost everywhere. No obstacles except other kiters or windsurfers. Enough space for everyone but can be crowded in summer (about 40 kites at the same time).
Grass and only small area to inflate. Launch the kite in between boats and spectators and people swimming, so be very careful. Enough space for about 20 kites on land but gets tricky then to enter and exit the water.
Season is from May to September. Air between 12°C at the season start and end, water 10°C. Summer: air between 20-30°C, water 20°C. Off-season possible, but very cold. Wetsit almost always needed.

From the Bundesstrasse between Rostock and Stralsund you take a left (coming from Rostock) where a sign says `Fischland-Darss-Zingst`. Follow that street all the way through Wustrow and Ahrenshoop until on the right you see a sign saying `Born Campingplatz`. Make a right turn here and after about 1km on the right there is the entrance where you pay for a day ticket. Or 300m on the meadow beyond the camping ground.
Kiters launch from the water. Entering the Born Campingplatz will cost you 8 Euro each person per day. Staying overnight with your own tent and car costs you 20 Euro each per day (2003 season prices).
