A wind turbine blade with a load-bearing structure and a damper means for damping the natural vibrations of the blade. The damper means (5) comprises a layer of energy-absorbing material adhesively secured to the load-bearing structure (1, 2) of the blade and at least one oblong element adhesively secured to said layer and extending substantially in the longitudinal direction of the blade. The length and rigidity of the at least one oblong element are such in the longitudinal direction of the blade that a strain of the blade in the longitudinal direction due to a deflection of the blade causes a displacement in the energy-absorbing material.
