    Surfspot Born

    • Freely accessible at any time
    • 18375 Born a. Darß

    Born is a classic Bodden spot with few waves and a lot of standing area. Best freeride action is provided by the southwest - then you can surf along the reed-covered Bodden coast without stress. But also with all other wind directions from southeast to west there is a lot going on here. But please respect the boundaries of the national park.

When the wind blows from the northeast to the south, Rosengarten is a real top spot. Then you can ride kilometer-long strokes parallel to the natural shore and almost always have standing-deep water under your board.

    Surfspot Pepelow

    • Freely accessible at any time
    • 18233 Pepelow

    The spot at the Salzhaff offers shallow water deluxe! You can park in front of or on the campsite. Day tickets are available at the reception. The Salzhaff is very shallow and the standing area is therefore extremely large. Especially windsurfers have to walk further out at low tide so that the fin doesn't involuntarily become an anchor. Pepelow shows its best side with southwest to north.
