About Belgium

Belgium's 60km coastline between the Netherlands and France provides year-round kiting with excellent downwind potential thanks to its straight geography and coastal tram system. Kiteable conditions span southwesterly through northeasterly winds, with spring and autumn offering the most consistent big air weather. Winter storms can peak near 50 knots but require heavy wetsuits. Summer brings lighter winds suitable for larger kites. The coast enables easy downwinders, and nearby France and Netherlands offer alternatives when Belgian wind directions fail. Inland activities and vibrant culture enhance visits.
