Schleswig-Holstein, Germany
Germany's northernmost kite spot at the Ellenbogen hook on List, Sylt. Sheltered Königshafen bay allows kiting in almost any wind direction — unique in Germany. Divided into 3 zones (kite / windsurf / nature reserve). Avoid the nature-protected dune area east of the access path. Flat water; beginner to advanced.
The Königshafen is the northernmost bight of the North Frisian island of Sylt in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein and thus also the northernmost bay in Germany. The bay gets its name from its use as a natural harbour and its legal status as part of the Royal Danish enclave of Listland. The harbour was used until at least the 18th century and was later abandoned as it silted up.

You've already got wind data — the hard part is knowing what it means for you. Most kiters end up checking two, three, four apps and still asking: can I actually go? Breeza was built by a kiter who had the same problem. Feed it your gear, weight and level and it tells you if Sylt / Königshafen is rideable right now. The answer, not the tabs.
