Surfcenter IJburg

Wind surfing might not be the first thing that comes to mind when planning your trip to Amsterdam, but it is definitely a very real possibility! If you already know how to wind surf, you can also choose to rent your equipment here and go out on the IJ by yourself. And for those that already are hooked to wind surfing: the surf center also sells boards and sails.

Lessons in windsurfing

At Surfcenter IJburg they offer different surf courses, for beginners and more advanced surfers. You can take private lessons or, if you are staying in Amsterdam for a longer period, sign up for a more elaborate course that is spread out over a couple of weeks.

SUP in Amsterdam

Besides wind surfing, Surfcenter IJburg also offers SUP courses. Stand Up Paddling is a sport where you glide over the waves using a surfboard while you stand upright and peddle your way forward; a lot of fun when you are with a group of friends. The Surfcenter is located right next to popular city beach Blijburg.
