South Africa<\/a> is the best place to visit if you are looking for that perfect kitesurf holiday at incredible value for money. Besides the unbelievable kitesurfing conditions and amazing beaches there is so much to do and experience in South Africa.<\/p>\n

Here are just 6 reasons why you should go to South Africa for your next kitesurf holiday:<\/h3>\n

\"Langebaan-lagoon\"<\/p>\n

1. Perfect summer conditions<\/h5>\n

South Africa is lucky enough to have one of the most temperate climates in Africa. Tourists visit South Africa all year round, but for kitesurfing the best time to visit is November to March. During these summer months visitors along the Southern Cape can expect consistent winds that blow at around 30-35 knots.<\/p>\n

Windless days in summer in the Cape are a rare occurrence. The weather is usually warm and sunny with temperatures between 25\u00b0C – 28\u00b0<\/b>C and the water temperatures can range from 19\u00b0<\/b>C – 22\u00b0C. With such incredible weather to enjoy in summer, it is no wonder loads of kitesurfers are heading down to South Africa for a perfect holiday.<\/p>\n

2.  Great for beginners<\/h5>\n

For those looking to start kitesurfing or those looking to improve their skills, Langebaan<\/a> along the West Coast has the perfect conditions. The massive lagoon at Langebaan is simply perfect for learning to kitesurf.<\/p>\n

3. Excellent wave spots<\/h5>\n

Around Cape Town<\/a>’s coastline are plenty of challenging wave spots for more advanced kitesurfers. But for those looking to work on their tricks, Big Bay is the place to be.<\/p>\n

In Cape Town it would be impossible to not find something to do on the non-kiting days, from taking the cable car to the top of Table Mountain to visiting the penguins at Boulders Beach there are plenty of adventures to be had with the whole family. In Langebaan, the family can take to the water and learn to kitesurf or just visit the surrounding national park or take in the sites of the charming town of Langebaan.<\/p>\n

5. Plenty to see and do<\/h5>\n

The great thing about South Africa is that no matter where you are along the coast you need only travel a short distance to experience the true beauty of nature. Why not include a safari adventure to see the Big 5 or a visit to the dramatic mountainous landscape of the Drakensberg?<\/p>\n
