About 200 kitesurfers crossed the entire Belgian coast from De Panne to Zeebrugge on Saturday, raising €27,000 for the mental health charity "Te Gek".
According to organiser Offshore, it was the first time the Belgian coastline had been kitesurfed on such a scale in a group.
The participants set off in stages from De Panne between noon and 13:00.

A rest and food stop was scheduled in Ostend until 16:00, and surfers had until 19:00 to arrive in Zeebrugge.
Offshore, a non-profit organisation, combines sporting challenges with fundraising for charitable causes.
Earlier this year, its organisers also became the first Belgians to kitesurf from Belgium to the United Kingdom.
