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 Hoekipadijk Markermeer Lelystad
This location in Lelystad is an ideal location where especially north to northeast wind directions can be foiled. Via a sandy beach of about 20 meters wide you can easily enter the Markermeer. At this location it is sufficiently deep everywhere for wing or wind foiling. In addition, we do not suffer from aquatic plants in the summer season.
At this location there is plenty of (free) parking space.
Address: Hoekipadijk is: Markerstrekdam 2, 8242 NA Lelystad.
