Baarland is located along the Western Scheldt (Westerschelde) and is one of the few Dutch spots rideable with south wind. The flat-choppy water is suitable for freeride and freestyle, but strong currents and the shipping channel make it intermediate riders only. Rideable at both high and low tide. Free parking. Vertigo Sports is active here.
