“is part of the Provinciedomein de Gavers, and a couple of minutes driving from Kortrijk. It’s a 1,5 km x 0,5km lake which is big enough to have Requested-field batch 13 verified 2026-08-01: official access and restriction sources distinguish exact club resources from original community spot evidence; unsupported seasons, wind directions, cameras, and surf reports remain unresolved.”
