This year marks a special milestone for Surfcenter as we celebrate our 50th anniversary. What started in 1976 as Windsurfing Shieldlake, a small local windsurf shop in Groningen, has grown into the Surfcenter we are today. To celebrate, we’re embracing a retro 80’s theme throughout the year, bringing back the energy, style, and spirit of the early days of windsurfing.
On Saturday, June 13, we’re celebrating Surfcenter’s 50th anniversary — and we’re going big!
We would love for you to join us for this special day full of watersports, fun, and great vibes.
Here’s a sneak peek of what to expect:
Daytime: Fun at the Schildmeer
Hit the water together with several pro riders, test gear, learn new tricks, and enjoy an action-packed day full of stoke.
Evening: Party at a top location
We’ll wrap up the day at the City Beach of Groningen for an evening filled with great food, drinks, and an amazing atmosphere.
Including:
- Autograph sessions with well-known riders
- A raffle with awesome prizes
- Music, fun, and surprises
- And of course, plenty of Surfcenter vibes
In short: this is a day you don’t want to miss. We can’t wait to celebrate 50 years of Surfcenter together with you!
