Cape Town is a kite paradise thanks to the southeast wind, blowing 4 to 7 Beaufort in summer. And even if the "Southeastern" should be too weak on certain days, you can still hope for the evening thermal. Cape Town is home to a constant and strong wind between October and April - which is why world class pros come train in these top-notch conditions. The wind is usually a bit lower in the mornings and gradually builds up to 35kn throughout the day. This leaves one free to choose about the strength of wind to kite in.
The famous Tableview/Blouberg Beach is right at your doorstep and offers excellent kiting conditions. You will be taught either here or at a nearby spot according to your level. With year-long experience in teaching both beginners and advanced riders, combined with the knowledge in the IKO (International Kitesurfing Organization), the camp can grant you a highly professional and personal teaching. Always making sure to be within the needed levels of safety, the kite instructors will lead you to your next kite level.
