This is the ideal surf spot for beginners and experienced kiters thanks to the knee-deep water that runs hundreds of meters into the IJsselmeer. Kitesurfing on the IJsselmeer is only allowed outside the yellow buoys, Makkum is officially open from 1 October to 1 May. From 1 May to 1 October, kitesurfing is allowed on the Kornwerderzand. There is a lot of control over kite surfing, so make sure you stick to the rules.
