Dune soaring is a popular activity in the Netherlands, especially along the coastal regions. It offers a unique flying experience with many takeoff options available. While the potential for long-distance cross-country (XC) flights is limited, the thrill of soaring along the dunes is a major draw. In North Holland, Camperduin is a notable spot with the highest dune in the region, standing at 30 meters. This location is particularly favorable for flying even with light winds and side wind directions up to 30 degrees. The optimal wind direction for flying here is 270 degrees, with a flyable sector ranging from 240 to 300 degrees. Pilots typically start at the base of the smaller foredune and soar up to the larger dune. However, in very light wind conditions, it may be necessary to start from the top. Since the summer of 2014, the coastal section at Camperduin has undergone significant changes, including new dune formations and the creation of a bathing lake between the dunes. These changes may affect the ease of takeoff, so it's essential to check the current conditions before planning your flight. Please respect the local rules and regulations when flying the dunes in the Netherlands to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
