Our teaching and testing locations
Windfoilen Nederland uses 2 locations where the lessons are given and where wind foil and wingfoil material can be tested by appointment. The location where the lesson or test appointment takes place is determined based on the wind forecast and wind direction.
Location Gooimeer Almere Haven
Our ‘home base’ spot. With the most wind conditions and wind directions, the activities take place in Almere on the Gooimeer.
The water is deep enough everywhere to foil safely. Via a sandy beach you can easily get on the water.
You can also use the changing room and showers of the windsurfing club. There is enough space to park (for free).
Address: Gooimeer Almere Haven: Gooimeerdijk West, Surfstrand Haven 2, 1353 CT Almere Haven.
Location: Tulpeiland Zeewolde
This location in Zeewolde is an ideal location where foiling is very good with wind directions from North to Southeast. You can easily enter the water via a sandy beach of about 20 meters wide.
Due to a breakwater 100 meters from the shore, the water is almost always flat. Ideal for learning wing foiling or wind foiling. At this location it is sufficiently deep everywhere for wing- or wind foiling.
At this location there is plenty of (free) parking space.
