| + | Hungary is famous for great sprint kayakers and canoers, so there are many talented paddlers. But it lacks marine coastline that would otherwise probably better promote the popularity of downwinding with surfskis. | ||

As always, be familiar with the local boat traffic rules and give larger, faster boats all of the room that they legally require and you need for everyone's safety. From a SUP paddler [[https://www.mensjournal.com/adventure/field-notes-paddling-danube-river|passing through Budapest]]: "the Hungarian water police slapped me with fines for “not having correct maritime lighting systems,” and “traveling outside of the designated ship channel,” in addition to various other infractions pertaining to ships and, apparently, SUPs." |

This is a long, narrow lake - if the wind works with this long fetch SW to NE, surfable wind waves can form. | + | * **Lake Balaton ("a Balaton") **Hungary's largest lake (77km long).

This is a long, narrow lake - the predominant wind is NW, perpendicular to the longest fetch of the lake, but wind waves do occur - See conditions below. |

The predominant wind direction blows perpendicular to the lake, from the northwest. The special effect of the mountains and valleys of the Balaton Uplands is that they cause the wind to “throb”. This throbbing is what causes periods of sudden waves and ripples in the lake, which is then followed by a wave-free period. Additionally, the waves are unusually steep for a lake: the highest waves measured were 1.82 metres near the shore and 1.95 metres in the middle of the lake. The length of the waves is usually between 2 to 12 metres. The water surface needs 2 hours for the furious waves to calm down after the wind has settled." |
