Take a look: Surf Magazine 8/2024 is here - these topics await you in the magazine!

The Ringkøbing Fjord doesn't tend to have any deserted secret spots; the almost-lake on the Danish west coast is one of the most popular windsurfing destinations in Europe. But at the eight spots in our big guide, you will find perfect freeride conditions for all wind directions on the water and an ideal infrastructure on land with shops, centres, car parks and more! Everyone from beginners to jibing students to ambitious riders will be happy - plus there are crisp waves on the North Sea and plenty of tourist highlights for a family holiday!

Speaking of families: inflatable SUPs with a windsurfing option are known to be the perfect water toy for all levels. Children can gain their first windsurfing or winging experience or simply splash around, while adults can cruise in light winds with a sail or paddle a tour. The eight windSUPs we tested for the August issue included some top all-rounders!

And if the wind weakens in the middle of a summer session and there's absolutely no gust of wind to make a water start possible, a good light wind technique will help. surf editor Julian Wiemar shows you tricks to get back on the board, bob home and maybe get gliding again with the next breeze!
