Kitesurfing and Windsurfing in Cape Town

Cape Town is South Africa’s premier kitesurfing and windsurfing capitol. Blaauwberg strand (also spelt Blouberg) is a world famous spot that is visited on a continuous basis by world renowed windsurfers and kitesurfers. The prevailing winds are South East in the summer months and North West in the winter months, which means that you can windsurf during the summer and winter. Obviously the summer months of October - March are most popular. There are surf shops in Table View that serve both the windsurfing and kitesurfing communities, so you can get your kit there and I’m sure they have for rent as well. - update brought to you by Beachbum.co.za
