The new and exciting sport of kitesurfing has hit South Africa in a big way, and is guaranteed to satisfy adrenalin junkies. The ultimate in sports for thrill seekers, it combines paragliding and surfing, providing a new and challenging way to conquer the waves and the air.

As this sport requires heavy winds to get the biggest thrill, the coastline of Cape Town is one of the best places in the world to enjoy this exciting new sport.

With whipping South Easterly winds blowing on summer days, kitesurfers flock to prime locations to catch the air and the waves. For those who have never tried this sport before, schools are available to teach beginners the ins and outs and take them out on the water for the first time.

Another prime location is Langebaan on the west coast north of Cape Town. It has been recognized as one of the top kitesurfing destinations in the world. An excellent school is available for those who want to learn. Remember your wetsuit as the water in the Atlantic is frigid.

If you are a beginner and not quite ready to test the strong winds and freezing water of the West Coast, head to Durban where the warm Indian Ocean currents offer a great place to learn.
