Learn how to Kite
As with all other watersports, kiteboarding and kitesurfing are not without risks and can prove to be dangerous to those who don’t know how to respond to strong gusts, powerful waves and other unexpected conditions.
Kiteboarding lessons are therefore a must for anyone who wants to learn how to kite.
Cape Town offers a choice of top licensed kite schools with experienced instructors on board that will provide professional training at a safe kiting spot.
You can book kite lessons at most of the reputable kite shops and all the equipment needed, will be provided. If the sport is for you, the instructor will advise you as to what kiteboarding or kitesurfing equipment to buy.
Do however be aware and steer clear of unqualified instructors offering cheaper kite lessons. Getting taught by a licensed instructor won’t just ensure that you’ll be kiting sooner but also more safely.
The sport can be enjoyed by any person of any age as long as you know your limitations and avoid conditions that are above your level of kiteboarding or kitesurfing skills.
