Don't worry about not being able to speak Dutch. Most Dutchies are quite able to get their point across in English.

I live just north of Rotterdam in Berkel en Rodenrijs. We have a location next to the N471. Right next to the McDonalds. It has some water issues though. After a couple of rain showers you're almost better off with a board with fins.

Another spot you may like is the old landfill of Rotterdam near the town of Bergschenhoek. If you look on the link below you see the ski slope as a white blob at the bottom of the image. Just follow the Rottebanddreef a bit further until you reach the parkinglot in the top of the picture. The field in between the parkinglot and the ski slope is where you need to be. It's a 2 minute walk from the parking.
This location is on a small hill so you will always have some turbulent winds. No biggy, but something you should be aware of.

hey!

Cheers for the rapid responce. I will defo give them a look. About the spot near the N471, I live right near there! Were abouts is the mc donalds? Ive tried googling it but not having much look?

Anyway thanks again for the help

hey, nice one pal. Do you know were the closest beach is aswell with hard packed sand for landboarding. Its a softer landing for when things go wrong  and some decent kite landboarding shops??? Yes thats right, I know little of The Netherlands at the moment

Well I was  just after a localish shop that had more stock of landboarding accessories i.e, board decks, trucks, bearings, wheels, etc, etc OH and kites of course, fixed bridle depower kites seem to be the future so i wouldnt mind checking them out too. I only want to potter around and browse to be honest . I have been to a couple in Den Haag but they mostly focused on kitesurfing. I do kite surf but I also enjoy the landboarding too.

Im from England and the sports pretty hit off over there, kitesurfing seems to be the one over here. Plenty of spots for that i gather.

Also I went and took to dog to check out that old landfill today. Thats pretty nice patch of green, weather was aweful so didnt even attempt. Is that a local spot for many kiters?

Cheers

Checked out that vliegers en co, the prices are insane! I dont know if you might know these webshops powerkiteshop.com and atbshop.co.uk, yeah there english sites but there prices seem pretty reasonable and a wide selection of gear too. I get alot of my gear off ebay too, they have a few bargains every now and then.

Cheers for the help anyway pal.

Im going to check out the ouddorp beach you recommended tomorrow. The weathers looks like its going to be good and since my girlfriends is off work aswell, its an ideal day. Im expecting a big empty beach with plenty of nice hard packed sand!

Hallo guy,
I'm from dover (well really dutch but lived there for ages) and rode camber sands and whitstable.
There's no big beachs like that in nederland, but most of us here ride on grass (cow fields).
I have found that the dutch like there fields to have alot of tress around.
Which is a bummer when you find a nice spot.
I ride most of the time at ijmuiden with a lot of another riders.
We have a meeting topic on this forum but you can only see it when you get to a sir-ten amount of posts.
Other goed beach is at DE Panne in Belgium.
Hope you find a nice home spot near you.
Hope to meet up soon.

So you followed my suggestion @KC.com to join PK.nl and FB.nl?! Welcome!

Regarding beach spots: IJmuiden is the place to be with low AND high tide. At low tide, you can also check some of the beaches in Zeeland (e.g. Ouddorp, Breskens) and maybe in the foreseeable future we can go back to the Maasvlakte which was a brilliant spot but is closed at the moment because of the construction work/land creation that is taking place there.
