About this spot
Orther Bucht is a well-known shallow water spot located on the island of Fehmarn. The bay offers a vast standing area, making it an ideal location for beginners and freestyle enthusiasts alike. The spot works best with westerly wind directions. Due to the large area of waist-deep water, it provides safe conditions for practicing new maneuvers or learning the basics of kiteboarding in relatively flat water.
