The North Sea Nations of Denmark, Germany, The Netherlands and Belgium are not the most alluring of European surf destinations, yet more and more surfers are hitting the line-up every year. Classic days can be had when the wind that brings the swell dies down, but surfing the regular onshore days is all part of the experience. The local surf culture has grown from a tradition of winter travelling, although this is when the hard core are rewarded with some real North Sea juice.
