Fahrdorf Schlei is a narrow inland water channel in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, characterized by extensive residential development along both shores. The spot features a north-south oriented channel with predominantly green, vegetated banks and numerous properties. The water body is relatively confined, limiting the effective riding area and wind fetch. With average winds of only 8.9 knots and poor reliability at 18.6%, conditions are marginal for kitesurfing most sessions. The spot suits beginners due to calm, protected waters and shallow areas, but riders must navigate residential boat traffic and limited space. East-west winds (particularly easterly) provide the most effective side-shore conditions. The primary challenge is finding adequate wind; when conditions align, the protected nature of the channel offers a safe learning environment. Hazards include residential swimmers, moored boats, and wind shadow effects from shoreline vegetation. This is primarily a fair-weather spot best suited for light-wind practice rather than progression.
