CAPE TOWN,
SOUTH AFRICA
THE LOWDOWN
Being a Southern Hemisphere destination, South Africa is a no-brainer
for any ‘northerners’ wishing to escape the chilly European winters
(or summers for that matter). And Cape Town – with sublime winds and
almost as many beaches as there are parties each night – is a pretty
exciting place to shake off the winter blues…
KITING SET UP
Cape Town: Blouberg is your go-to spot if you’re fresh off the plane.
Popular, and with easy access to plenty of other great spots, such
as Big Bay, Dolphin Beach and Kite Beach. Big Bay is super popular
with freestylers who make the most of the lulls between swells, and
also has plenty of wave-action for the surf riders. Dolphin Beach
is also a popular spot, and is great for beginners and intermediate
riders. Then a little further on is Kite Beach, with its name leaving
no guesses as to what is most popular here…
If you’re looking for some real flatwater sessions, head for Shark’s
Bay and Langebaan, about an hour and a half outside of Blouberg. And
don’t let the name put you off… this is a really beautiful part of
the Western Cape.
