Kitesurf at Langebaan

Located on the West Coast approximately 1.5 hours north of Cape Town, the town of Langebaan overlooks a turquoise bay with three flat water spots:

– Pearly’s Beach;
– Cape Sports Bay;
– Shark Bay, which despite its name, does not host any sharks.

Like the South African West Coast, the area is as undeveloped as it is sparsely populated, offering a tranquil and exotic setting.

A spot for all levels, ideal for freestyle, freeride, or learning.

Pros: flat water – no sharks (rare on the West Coast) – authentic setting
Cons: cold water – isolation – no nightlife

Some additional tips:

Be careful not to leave anything in your car that may attract thieves: car break-ins are not uncommon.

The biodiversity is rich off the coast, so don’t hesitate to order fish at the restaurant! You can be sure of the quality.

For waveriding enthusiasts, the waves are not far away: there are spots like Shelly Point to the north of Langebaan, and Yzerfontein to the south.

Langebaan is definitely a must-stop during your kite trip in South Africa.
