About this spot
Chałupy on the Hel Peninsula is one of Poland's most famous kiteboarding destinations, offering a shallow lagoon on the Bay of Puck side with flat water ideal for learning and freestyle. The bay side is protected from large swells, while the open Baltic side can offer choppier conditions. Consistent winds from the north and southwest make it a reliable spot from spring through autumn.
