What are favorable conditions to take kitesurfing lessons in South-Africa?

The wind is the first factor to take into consideration to take kitesurfing lessons safely: a consistent wind between 12 and 16 knots make kitesurfing lessons enjoyable and safe.

The orientation of the wind for kitesurfing lessons should be any component of onshore wind, preferably cross-onshore. Then, the temperature of the water is also an important factor to make kitesurfing lessons enjoyable: preferably warm than cold as we are not penguins!

Where to take kitesurfing lessons in Cape Town?

There are many nice possible places to kitesurf in the Western Cape. However, only few are really well suited to take kitesurfing lessons. Muizenberg makes kitesurfing lessons enjoyable as the water is warm, the wind always blows consistently, and the Southeasterly winds are onshore to cross-onshore, making kitesurfing lessons safe as the wind always tends to bring naturally kitesurfing learners back towards the beach. Taking kitesurfing lessons in Cape Town West Coast area is also possible either in Bloubergstrand or Langebaan. Both Bloubergstrand and Langebaan have most of the time a side shore wind also favorable to take kitesurfing lessons in Cape Town, although a thick wetsuit is indispensable as the water is usually ice cold, especially in summer time! Strand Kitesurfing Beach Club is also a nice place to have kitesurfing lessons in Cape Town, with warm water, but the wind strength and direction is rather unpredictable which makes it difficult to schedule kitesurfing lessons on this side of Cape-Town in advance.

Why taking Kitesurfing lessons in Cape Town instead of learning to kite by yourself?

Ask yourself how you would learn skiing. Buying a pair of skis and throwing yourself down the Everest Mountain would not be a good idea indeed. A better option would be to first learn how to control your gears, such as how to turn, accelerate, or even more importantly how to break. Kitesurfing obeys to the same principles. Kitesurfing lessons always begin by learning to control your kitesurfing kite. This includes learning to launch a power kite, to increase or to decrease the power of the kite, to control the kite at anytime, and then only using your skills in controlling the kite to help you go on the kiteboard for your first run.

Is it expensive to take Kitesurfing lessons in Cape Town?

Well, it is just a matter of choosing the right Kitesurfing School in the Cape Town area. Some kitesurfing Schools will charge you more, and some will charge you less for kitesurfing lessons.
