Kitesurfing, wing foiling and foiling at Suhrendorf

Suhrendorf lies on Ummanz, a small island joined to Rügen by a bridge, and it is the only place in the Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft National Park where kitesurfing is allowed. You launch and land only on the kite meadow at the northern end of the campsite and stay inside the buoyed area that runs up to the dyke crossing at Haide, on the flat water of the Schaproder Bodden, where the tide plays no part. The shore faces west-north-west, so west to north-west is onshore and south-west and north come in side-on, while east to south-east blows off the land, and on this inland water Windulu then gives a warning instead of a no-go, because you drift towards the far shore. There is no wind station within fifteen kilometres, so you decide on the forecast.

The only kite zone in the Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft National Park: launch and land only on the kite meadow of Suhrendorf campsite, and kite only in the buoyed area up to the Haide dyke crossing. Whether winging is allowed here is not officially set. Source: Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft National Park.
