    spots near Cape Town

    Hi all,
    I am travelling with my wife to SA on the 11th Feb 2010.
    I am a experience kiter and plan to stay 2 o 3 days in Cape town area.
    My wife is a begginer and I want her to take a course in a safe, warm water, waist deep spot.
    I have looked on the web and Laangeban looks a nice place.
    Is it really waist deep, warm water, flat...???

    I would also like to take 1 day lesson for waves.

    Any suggestions??
    Thanks a lot

    Hi Emilokiter.

    Langebaan is all that and Sharkbay is the perfect location for beginners. Just pray for some wind, because the forecast isn’t looking to good for the next few days. Warm water on the west coast doesn’t means no wetsuit. Might still need a suite if planning on staying in the water instead of on top :)

    I attached a map with the road to sharkbay just for incase.

    Hope you have a awesome stay in SA

    If you need a lesson for your wife there is plenty of people looking to make a quick buck, however I suggest you get the lessons from a kite school that knows their stuff.
    Cameron from watersport warehouse Cape Town - 082 706 7476
    Mark from Best kite shop Cape Town - 076 591 6069
     Alan Steel from
    Uluwato kite school in Langebaan - 083 378 2952

    These are all well qualified guys that can hook you up with a lesson.

    Give me a call if you have trouble finding sharkbay, the map should work fine

    Thanks a lot. It is a very useful web. Congratulations.
    I will check wind forecasts for the kitebreak and select based on that.

    Thanks a lot Juan,
    I hope I am lucky with the wind... and I will visit the kiteschools you mentioned for my wife.
    For a 1 day wave lesson where should I go?
    Anything closer to Cape Town?
    I have to balance the kite with other things if I want to continue with my marriage. ;-).
    Thanks again,

    Emilokiter
