Day 1
Day 1 – 2Our recommendation
Day 1 – 3Your progression
Each day is a 3-hour private session. Your instructor adapts in real time, so the pace is yours. These are the goals, not a guarantee: wind and your own progress set the speed.
Private vs group
With private lessons, every minute of your session is dedicated entirely to you. We always recommend private, because you'll learn faster. Group is great if you want to share the experience with a friend or partner.
| Private (this page) | Group | |
|---|---|---|
| Ratio | 1 instructor, 1 student | Max 2 students share one kite |
| Session length | 3 h per day | 4 h per day |
| From | R3,400 (Day 1) | R2,600 pp (Group Day 1) |
| Who it suits | Fastest progress, limited time | Couples, friends, family booking together |

Safety & instructors
We've been teaching on Langebaan Lagoon since 2007. Safety isn't something we cover once at the start, it's built into everything we teach, and if conditions aren't right we don't teach.
Conditions
Wide open space, shallow flat water and reliable summer wind, with no big waves or shore break to fight. You can focus on the kite, not the ocean.

“My husband and I did the 3 day private lesson each. Such great instructors… They were so friendly, patient, supportive and knowledgeable. They were also super flexible to schedule us in with the best wind during the week we were in Langebaan… Can't believe we got up riding!”
“Amazing kitesurfschool! Dudley was very patient and explained kitesurfing amazing. We also did body dragging in the first lesson, which was very nice. Would definitely recommend!”
“They always keep me up to date on the wind and conditions, making sure lessons happen at the best time of day. They provide all the equipment and excellent safety briefings, which really builds confidence on the water.”
We recommend that everyone takes a two-day course. For a complete beginner that is roughly six hours on the water (Private Kitesurf Course – Day 2). If you just want to try it, start with Day 1.
If conditions aren't suitable, we don't teach. We'll talk to you and recommend the best option: reschedule, a voucher or a refund. Flexibility is our priority because most of our clients are international.
When wind conditions are good, bookings cancelled within 24 hours of the lesson are non-refundable. With 48 hours' notice, we can give you a full refund.
No. Modern equipment is designed so that the harness carries most of the kite's power, so you focus on balance, timing and technique.
Most lessons are taught in English or German; we have a German-speaking instructor on the team. We teach children from the age of 10.
Yes. Book online and pay in full or a 50% deposit. Payments are taken in South African rand.
Your booking confirmation tells you exactly where to go. We're based at 1 St Croix Close, Langebaan, Western Cape, 7357, about 100–120 km from Cape Town.
