About Winging at Balmedie

Balmedie, north of Aberdeen, is famous for its towering sand dunes and expansive shoreline, offering huge space for winging and windsurfing. Unlike city beaches, Balmedie is groyne-free, providing a safer environment for wing foilers to enjoy North Sea swell. It excels in South-Easterly winds, delivering consistent 'bump and jump' conditions. The sheer scale of the beach allows riders to find their own space even on busy days. Balmedie’s shallow slope ensures accessible water at most tidal states.
