White Sands Festival: Windsurf Performance Camp on Norderney with Dennis Müller

As part of the White Sands Festival on Norderney over Whitsun 2026, there will also be a special windsurfing performance camp. Coach Dennis Müller will lead the four-day training from 22 to 25 May, which is aimed at young people and adults. The north beach at Januskopf will serve as the base for the camp. Depending on the water level, participants can expect shallow water conditions or good wave conditions at low tide. When the wind blows from the south, the tidal flats with smooth sandbanks are available. The camp starts on Friday at ten o'clock and combines intensive water training with the supporting programme of the White Sands Festival, which offers top-class beach volleyball and a party atmosphere. A motorboat will be on hand to provide safety and to lay out the neck buoys.

Training on fin and foil

The coaching focuses on various manoeuvres and techniques. Dennis Müller provides personalised tips on how to improve your riding skills and tune your equipment. The training includes both classic windsurfing on the fin and foil surfing. The manoeuvres in focus include the power jibe, foil jibe, duck jibe, spock and forward loop. Participants analyse their riding style via video and optimise their technique on this basis. The prerequisite for participation is a basic knowledge of gliding, maintaining height and riding footstraps. Previous foil experience is not required. Participants bring their own equipment. Test material is available, a limited number of foil boards. Equipment can be stored directly at the surf box at the spot.

In addition to water training, the programme includes several theory sessions and video analyses. In calm conditions, island trainer Nico from freiraum offers a mobility and stretching unit for regeneration. Other alternative programmes include fitness, longboarding and volleyball. A joint barbecue evening rounds off the programme, during which participants can enjoy the sunset. The White Sands Festival itself offers additional entertainment with beach volleyball events and parties. Camp participants receive free entry to the party on Friday and an event lycra.

Overnight stay and registration

A special area in the Cornelius car park has been reserved for overnight stays, where all participants can park together. Three nights' accommodation costs 70 euros per vehicle. If you don't want to spend the night in a campervan, there are numerous alternative accommodation options near the White Sands Festival site. The participation fee is 299 euros and includes coaching, the barbecue evening, the event lycra and free entry to the party on Friday. Pupils, students and trainees pay a reduced price of 249 euros.
