In the middle of summer, from 12 to 17 August, all young windsurfers will once again be heading to the mother of all kids' camps in Kellenhusen on the Bay of Lübeck. Up to 70 children and young people from all over Germany will follow professional Vincent Langer's call to improve their windsurfing skills and learn the latest tricks and trends. Ten professional coaches, all of whom have regatta experience, will conduct the training sessions on the water and on land. Of course, the focus is on having fun. The children are between 7 and 19 years old and receive personalised training to guarantee the best possible learning success. In addition to windsurfing, the Kids Camp also includes beach and water games such as water polo, SUP challenges, foosball, board, sailing and foil theory as well as games to get to know each other better and form a team.
Kids Camp world record to be improved
One particular highlight last year was the setting of a new world record. The longest chain of connected windsurfers to date was 70. The 2024 participants and organisers thought it must be possible to beat that. No sooner said than done - the old record was easily beaten with a chain of 109 windsurfers. The goal for the 2025 Kids Camp is to beat it again!

This sport is surfed
Kellenhusen is located at the northern end of the Bay of Lübeck and has been the venue for various regattas for years. You can pitch your tent on a meadow in a prime location directly behind the dyke. The surfing conditions are great. With a small sandbank in front and shallow water for the first few metres, ideal and safe training is possible.

Chief editor surf
Andreas was born in 1962 and grew up in Osnabrück. He became passionate about windsurfing as early as 1974, when he learned to tack and jibe at one of the first surf schools on the Baltic Sea. Lake Dümmer became the favorite playground of his youth for him and his friends. In 1988, he joined Surf Magazin as a tester and later editor and was lucky enough to be able to turn his passion into a career. Andreas has been responsible for the magazine's content as editor-in-chief since 2002. His favorite spots are those on the Danish North Sea and Baltic coasts.
