WHERE DO YOU HEAD IF YOU’VE SPENT THE WHOLE SUMMER
UNDER A SCORCHIO GREEK SUN, WHERE WIND IS SERVED DAILY
(WELL, MOST AFTERNOON’S AT LEAST) AND YOU NEED YOUR
ENDLESS WINDSURFING SUMMER OF FUN TO CONTINUE? THE
ANSWER? CAPE TOWN, SA, OF COURSE! SANDY CLUNAS SPILLS
THE BEANS.
Winter can be a daunting time for us windsurfers. Sure the
wind picks up, but it gets colder, darker and everything just
becomes a bit greyer and more miserable. For myself and the
rest of us that choose to spend our summer’s sunning
ourselves and sailing in the clear waters of the Ionian Sea it’s
even more daunting. So, there is only one real place that
offers everything a windsurfer could want during the darkest
months of the northern hemisphere. And that place is Cape
Town my friends.
I migrated south for 12 weeks from the 6th of December ’16 till
the 1st of March ‘17. It’s the perfect amount of time to really
enjoy everything Cape Town has to offer, and it gets you away
from the worst months on the UK calendar.
