Wind in Your Sails, Sand Beneath Your Wheels

SO BLO’ ME AWAY..

Our Blokarting Adventure at Brouwersdam

This past Sunday, we headed to Natural High at Brouwersdam for an unforgettable blokarting experience. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the front desk staff, who gave us a detailed explanation of the different options available. Together, we selected the perfect package for our adventure.

At the scheduled time, our instructor Ramon greeted us and guided us through the equipment selection process, starting with choosing our helmets. And after a quick briefing, it was time to get to work! We each took a blokart and made our way to the designated beach area. There, we received final instructions on what to do—and what not to do—before preparing our karts for the ride.

Then, the moment arrived. We settled into our karts, grabbed the sail, and let the wind take us away. The initial few moments were all about getting a feel for the wind, understanding how the sail responded, and figuring out how to control the kart. But once we got the hang of it, the thrill was unbeatable! We raced across the sand for over two hours, refining our skills as our instructor provided extra tips to increase our speed and maneuverability.

“No roads, no limits—just you, the wind, and pure adrenaline.”

Day, in particular, was incredibly enthusiastic—she picked up the technique quickly and was soon flying across the course on two wheels, making sharp turns and thrilling slides. The adrenaline rush of speeding along the beach with the wind in your sail is truly unmatched!

After an exhilarating session, we returned to Natural High, where we were awarded with official blokarting licenses, allowing us to rent blokarts independently in the future. The idea of coming back for more was already on our minds! Right next to Natural High, we discovered a fantastic Surfshop filled with stylish clothing and accessories—definitely worth checking out.

And of course, no adventure is complete without a visit to the Natural High Beach Club. After two hours of intense blokarting, we were more than ready for a delicious meal. Whether it’s a refreshing cocktail, a smoothie, or a hearty dish, this cozy and welcoming spot is the perfect way to unwind after an action-packed day on the beach.

“The best rides don’t need fuel—just wind and a fearless heart.”
