With its pumping, reliable winds, hot weather and gorgeous wide, white beaches, Cape Town is a windsurfer’s dream destination.

From Muizenberg for beginners to Kommetjie for the more experienced, the Cape Peninsula coastline offers great windsurfing opportunities for all windsurfing enthusiasts - no matter what their level of skill.

And that’s just the Southern Suburbs – there are also perfect beaches out at Blouberg Strand in the Cape’s Northern Suburbs, while the West Coast offers a completely different vibe with equally awesome conditions for windsurfing, kiteboarding and other watersports.

If you’re a novice you’ll find that your instructors will take you to gentle sloping beaches with huge open water space - making learning to windsurf safe as well as fun.

The coastline is dotted with numerous beaches. It is shaped in a way that insures there is always that all-important off-shore wind to assist the take-off.

And whether you’re looking for flatwater or extreme wave sailing the range of conditions is impressive.

Once you’ve mastered the basic windsurfing skills you’ll be able to start learning some tricks, jumps and turns that will take the sport from fun to fantastic.

This summer, consider taking to the waters of the Western Cape and let the wind give you wings to skim the wave tops.
