A giant shallow bathtub at the very south of Ringkøbing Fjord: Denmark's best-known flat-water venue, with the WestWind school right on the shore.
Bork Havn sits at the very southern end of Ringkøbing Fjord. Locals call it a giant shallow bathtub: you can stand almost everywhere, the bottom is mostly sand, and the water stays butter-flat even when it's blowing hard. The WestWind school is right on the shore, with free parking and a launch off the grassy meadow by the marina. The go-to wind is west: it comes in onshore and, sheltered by land, it's noticeably less gusty than at nearby Hvide Sande on the open coast. The bay is over a kilometre wide and rideable from southwest through west and north to northeast.
One of the safest learning waters in northern Europe: a closed fjord with no tide, knee-deep water for hundreds of metres and a school on site. The flip side: when the westerly picks up, short chop builds — and experienced riders head for the sea side at Hvide Sande, 25 minutes away.

source : westwind.dk ↗At the far south-east of Ringkøbing Fjord: follow Kirkehøjvej to Bork Havn harbour. Large free car park at the harbour, two minutes' walk from the kite beach and the WestWind station. Billund is about an hour's drive.
Sandy beach and rigging lawn just south of the harbour, in front of the WestWind school. Gradual launch over firm sand, knee- to waist-deep for hundreds of metres — if anything goes wrong you simply walk back.
Little Bork Havn harbour lines up cafés, an ice-cream shop, a fish smokehouse and a supermarket five minutes' walk from the beach — plenty to eat and drink after your session in pure Danish fjord atmosphere, wooden huts included.
Bork Havn is on the inner fjord side, a closed lagoon regulated by the Hvide Sande sluice — no ocean tide to plan around. Only a straight easterly (offshore) is best avoided; a strong northerly can raise a little chop at the back of the fjord.
