Long John:

This is a secret spot, that isnīt that secret anymore. At least nowadays a good squad of kiteboarders, windsurfers and surfers floods this place when itīs on.

Named after a local porn star who surfed it first some years ago, for a long time access was only allowed for men with enough size........

Today, birdwatchers, women, small sized men and even kids find their path through the dunes to that large beach. Nature is pretty prestine at this place, even though that often the wind and the sea carry some trash from human “civilization”. This doesnīt hinder lots of birds to take a rest at this place on their long journeys from Africa to the polar regions and vers visa.

Please, everyone, and I mean everyone, who finds his / her way to this place, donīt camp here, donīt leave any trash, donīt make unnecessary noise and be friendly to the locals! This is in your own deepest interrest as a closure of the parking lot and road would make it nearly impossible to sail or kiteboard here.

surfing: when it rains and when the air stinks from rotten fish, chances are best to get a good surf here. When the swells are big enough, the sandbars form nice lefts with the ones more to the right getting suckier and having some punch. Longboarders and shortboarders alike find pleasure here.

windsurfing: you have to carry your stuff for quite a distance to go sailing here. But when the swell is on and the wind blows side to sideoffshore itīs worth the effort. Good jumping conditions and nice wavesailing will let you forget the rain and grey skies. Only downside is that the waves usually donīt come in with the perfect angle what makes down the line wavesailing a bit tricky. Be carefull with riding the bigger waves to the right as you might get stuck in a windless area with nasty shorebreaks.

kiteboarding: you lucky guys have the least load to carry to get to the beach. The beach is large enough for launching the kites and with those surfboard type of boards you can have a lot of fun here.

there is some more pics in the galleries (surfing, windsurfing, kiteboarding)
