Spot Laboe: Municipality willing to compromise

A few days ago, the popular wingsurfing and foil spot at Laboe harbour was closed to water sports enthusiasts. we reported.We therefore asked the municipality for a statement and asked why it was not possible to maintain a narrow corridor for water sports enthusiasts on a two-kilometre-long beach so that they could enter the deep water outside the extended swimming zone.

Fortunately, the municipality has now shown itself willing to compromise:"We have"We were informed by an employee of the municipality of Laboe,"after consultation with our plant management, we moved the bathing buoys a little."

"Thus"the employee continued,"The area at the harbour jetty can no longer be seen as a pure bathing area. We have decided to allow access to the water for the time being and to observe how it works in this beach area."

To ensure that the spot remains open to water sports enthusiasts, the cooperation of all water sports enthusiasts is essential: This includes being considerate of swimmers in the water and bathers on the beach, consistently avoiding the bathing area (which is too shallow for foiling anyway) and also purchasing a valid beach pass.
