Kiteboarding or kitesurfing has taken the world by storm during the last few years. Kiteboarding in South Africa has grown extremely fast since the first kitesurfer appeared on our shores in the early 1990s. Kiteboarding is however more closely related to Snowkiting and the sport that has taken South Africa by storm should be known as kitesurfing.
Power kiting includes kite buggies, landboarding, kite skiing, and kitesurfing, all these sports become possible when the technology around the material and control of the kites improved making it possible to use the kites in adverse weather conditions.
Today most popular seaside towns in South Africa have a kitesurfing school and even a few are found inland in the major centers. The most popular kitesurfing destinations in South Africa include Langebaan and Cape Town.
All you need is water and regular wind.
