Wingfoil school Flanders: VVW inside ostend

VVW Inside Ostend – A Unique Wingfoil Destination in Belgium

Located in the heart of the Belgian coast, VVW Inside Ostend is a prime wingfoil club offering a unique combination of an internal and external spot, making it an ideal location for riders of all levels. Whether you’re looking for flat water progression or wave-riding excitement, this spot has it all.

Internal Spot – The Safe & Controlled Playground

You can find the spot within the Spuikom, a large inland water basin, the internal spot at VVW Inside provides perfect conditions for learning and refining your skills. This enclosed body of water ensures flat and relatively shallow conditions, making it an excellent choice for beginners or those looking to practice new tricks without battling strong currents or waves. The wind is generally clean, but slightly influenced by the urban surroundings.

Best for:

• Beginners & intermediates
• Freestyle tricks & progression
• Flatwater cruising

Wind Directions:
Works best with SW, W, NW, and N winds, but is generally rideable in most directions.

External Spot – The Open North Sea Adventure

For those looking for more open-water excitement, the external spot is located on the North Sea, just a short distance from the club. This area provides stronger winds, rolling waves, and more dynamic conditions for advanced riders. Depending on the tide and wind direction, you can enjoy bump-and-jump sessions or full-on wave-riding experiences.

Best for:

• Wave riding & downwinders
• Advanced riders seeking a challenge
• Stronger wind conditions

Wind Directions:
Optimal with SW, W, NW winds, offering cross-onshore conditions that ensure safe riding.
