Watersports
Kitesurfing, windsurfing, SUP and wingfoiling on the IJsselmeer and inland waters
Since its founding in 1990, Camping Welgelegen has welcomed many kitesurfers and windsurfers. Many of them have become loyal guests who return year after year, thanks to the ideal conditions and the unique location by the IJsselmeer.
Wingfoiling is also rapidly growing in popularity. In this modern watersport, you stand on a board with a hydrofoil and move using an inflatable wing. Wingfoiling is relatively accessible and can be practiced not only on the IJsselmeer, but also on the calmer inland waters in the surrounding area.
Stand-up paddling (SUP) is another great option. SUP is a relaxing way to explore the water while standing on a board and using a paddle. The direct connection with the water and nature allows you to experience the surroundings more intensely with all your senses.
While paddling, you can discover the Frisian landscape from a unique and peaceful perspective.
