KITE

K I T E: Having become one of the world's most popular kiteboarding spots over the past years, Cape Town’s conditions are ideal for beginners as well as for advanced kiters. Depending on the wind and on your skills you can rip between Milnerton and Langebaan! The coast is ideal for downwinders: about 30 km of good down-winding await you. The downwind shuttle service can take you back home. The southeaster which blows here in the South African summer with its persistent four to seven beau-forts makes Cape Town a kiters paradise. Talk to us if you would like to book lessons, hire gear, or if you need tips on which spots to kite when. Furthermore, we can organize gear for you at good deals.

WIND

W I N D: Cape Town lies at the southernmost tip of South Africa. Due to the good geographical position huge Atlantic swell rolls onto the coastline. At the same time, the "Cape Peninsula", which extends from Cape Town to the Cape of Good Hope between the Indian Ocean and Atlantic Ocean is one of the windiest places in the world. This combination allows sensational windsurfing conditions. Whether you're a big wave rider a pure freestyler or even a new-comer – fun is guaranteed! All major spots can be reached from the Surf & Bike house by car within 10 min. Bloubergstrand is even within walking distance!
