About Strand Slufter

Strand Slufter stands as a unique Dutch playground with dramatic 30–35 meter dunes offering panoramic views over two lagoons, a sand bar, and open coastline. Diverse water zones allow progression from flat-water freestyle to sand bar waves and ocean swells. Super-steady winds blow across nine months of the year, with minimal facilities on-site—bring your own provisions. Mostly kiters gather here with occasional seals joining sessions. Cold water demands a 5/4 wetsuit. Rotterdam lies nearby for resupply and entertainment.
