The Langebaan lagoon is one of the biggest lagoons in the world, with bright blue waters and a large waist deep section, ideal for learning the basics of all watersports. The wind is very reliable as it is channeled between the hills around, picking up mostly at the end of the morning. Some parts have perfectly flat water, ideal for a sup session in the morning to deserted white beaches. Windsurfers and kitesurfers have the choice between flat, bumpy and wavy waters, all in very close proximity to our new Boutique Hotel. A 3 mm wetsuit or shorty is recommended.
The Kitesurf school is right at the hotel and just 150 m to the waters edge. The centre is stocked with the lastest North kites and kite boards for rental as well as providing a full range of lesson from complete begiiner up to more advanced freestyle. As with all centres, rental is subject to a minimum level of 'riding upwind' for safety, or if you have completed the 2 day beginner course plus the 1 day improver course with the centre.
Any rentals at this centre have to pay for an assessment to make sure they can kite independently and safely. During the assessment, you will be explained how the two kite spots work (do’s and don’t’s), the currents/tides, the rescue boat service, etc. This is once off so you come back again, then you don’t have to be assessed again.
