Premier Kitesurfing School for Blouberg and Langebaan Lagoon

Established in 2014, this professional kitesurfing school offers lessons for everyone from complete beginners to advanced riders seeking to refine their skills. The school operates in two prime South African kitesurfing locations - the world-renowned Blouberg beach in Cape Town and the sheltered waters of Shark Bay in Langebaan.

Expert Instruction with Safety First

What sets this school apart is their teaching philosophy - they prioritize safety over speed. Their intensive courses offer 3-6 hours of instruction daily, making them ideal for visitors who want to make significant progress in a short time. The instructors are known for their patient, calm approach and step-by-step methodology that builds confidence.

Perfect Learning Conditions

Shark Bay in Langebaan offers beginner-friendly conditions with:

  • Shallow, flat water - perfect for learning board starts
  • Consistent wind patterns (typically 18-20 knots)
  • Protected lagoon environment that's more forgiving than open ocean

These conditions make Langebaan one of the top kitesurfing destinations globally, especially for beginners looking to progress quickly.

Quality Equipment

Students use modern, well-maintained kitesurfing gear including the latest kites, boards, harnesses, and wetsuits. This quality equipment makes the learning process both safer and more enjoyable.

Course Options

The school offers flexible lesson structures:

  • Beginner courses: Comprehensive 9-hour programs (typically over 3 days)
  • Private lessons: Personalized instruction for faster progression
  • Refresher courses: For those who've tried kitesurfing before but need to rebuild skills
  • Equipment rental: Available for qualified kiters who don't have their own gear

For best results, the instructors recommend the 9-hour package, but shorter options accommodate time-limited visitors.

Local Tips

For those planning a kitesurfing trip to Langebaan:

  • Arrange transportation to Shark Bay, as the main teaching area is not directly at the school's base
  • The season runs year-round, but December through February brings the most reliable winds
  • Combine your kitesurfing with a visit to the West Coast National Park for a full appreciation of the area's natural beauty
  • Consider a "lekker" downwinder service offered by the school - a thrilling way to experience more of the coastline once you've mastered the basics

Whether you're a complete novice or looking to advance your kitesurfing skills, the school provides the expertise and environment to make significant progress in this exciting water sport.
