Itinerary

The trip is for three weeks and starts every Sunday and ends on a Saturday. Each week we teach you a new sport, or we help you improve your skills, and boy can we!

Depending on the weather the itinerary below is subject to change at short notice.

Week one, surf lessons

From Monday to Friday you have a one hour surf lesson a day with a professional surf instructor. After the lessons you have enough time to try again and again because surfboard rental is included for five whole days.

Week two, kitesurf lessons

From Monday to Wednesday you have kitesurf lessons, we teach you all you need to know to get in the water without an instructor and get you qualified. This gives you two more days to practice with another beginner kitesurfer, because we include two more days of kitesurf gear rental.

Week three, SUP lessons

From Monday to Friday you have a one hour lesson in SUP a day with a professional instructor. After the lessons you have enough time to try again and again as board rental is included for five days.

On the last day we will take you on a social SUP trip. Using bikes to go up into the mountains and then SUP the river down. A fantastic way to spend the day showing off your new found skills………..

Extra

A day trip to go snorkelling with seals! How cool is that?

Cool beach house accommodation

Your home away from home is a beach house close to the beach where all the action takes place and with a view to Table Mountain.  It houses about 30 people who will all be doing kitesurfing, surfing and SUP, all joined by the common bond of water sports, partying and travel. Makes for a great evening swapping stories over a few beers!

Frequently Asked Questions

I have no experience with kite surfing, surfing or SUP, but I would like to join, can I?
Of course you can. In these three weeks we can teach you how to surf, kitesurf and SUP, even if you are a total novice.
Is this a group trip?
Not really, because you can join whenever and there will always be people coming and going. You will have lessons with others and will be part of the community soon enough. Many travellers join this programme alone, and it is all very sociable. Don´t be afraid you will be alone, we will show you an awesome time!
How far is the accommodation from the Centre of Cape Town?
It is a 20 minute bus ride, and buses stop across the street from the accommodation.
Are there surf buses to take us to the best surf, kitesurf and SUP locations?
Our location is on one of the best beaches in town, but we will take you to where the best conditions are depending on your level
Are there shops close by?
Local shops have anything you need and you can store your groceries in our fridge. There is a vending machine for drinks.
Are there any bars in the area?
There are a few and a new one just opened around the corner, which is a great place to hangout.
So linen is included, what about towels?
Sorry, sheets only.  You need to bring your own towels and beach towels.
And what about sharks?
There are sharks in Cape Town area. However, a local kiter has never seen one in the five years he has been kiting along these beaches. There are hundreds of people in the water at any one time enjoying a the sea and sunshine and no kiter has ever been taken by a shark. Sharks are not usually a problem.
