Overview

Razende Bol ("Raging Ball" / Noorderhaaks) is a legendary wild sandbar in the Waddenzee, located between Den Helder and Texel. This uninhabited, constantly shifting island is an epic freeride destination — vast flat sand, strong tidal currents, and completely isolated. Typically reached by riding from Huisduinen across the Marsdiep channel.

Shallow flat sand at low tide — spectacular conditions for freeride and foil on the sandbar itself. Crossing the Marsdiep is choppy with strong currents. Not for wave riding — the adventure is the flat, wild sandbar.
