Laurent and the other instructors were really helpful. They accommodated our schedule and let us know when the conditions were good. They picked the times that would be best for us to make progress, rather than just going out in frustrating conditions. They also provided excellent advice for our search for our own gear...

Had a very good experience with Coastline Kitesurfing! The atmosphere was good from the beginning, and the crew was very welcoming. Students and instructors got along from the first second, and we all enjoyed the five day course. The instructors were patient with every "student", which gave people the space to try and fail...

The instructors were super friendly and patient, shout out to Jack, Laurent and Sage. They made sure that our safety came first and that we felt comfortable with the kite. I would definitely recommend Coastline if your looking to get into kitesurfing 🙂

I would definitely recommend them. Had a great time learning everything and the instructors were always friendly and patient. I also loved that with my last class instructor Heinrich didn't push me do something I was not 100% comfortable yet. Safety first! But overall it was a great experience and I totally regret not doing it earlier

Safety while on your kitesurfing lessons.

Kitesurfing is an extreme sport, with many important components to learn of, before you attempt anything independently.

This is why we always recommend taking kitesurfing lessons from an experienced & certified kitesurfing school.

Why? Simply because it’s exponentially safer. Just as you’d take driving lessons before getting behind the wheel, kitesurfing also requires step-by-step learning. Once you’re familiar with the kite’s control system, your skills will improve dramatically.

Confidence naturally builds over time—the more you fly the kite, the more assured you’ll feel! Taking kitesurfing lessons not only boosts your safety but also ensures the safety of other beachgoers. Our experienced instructors are here to guide you through every step of becoming a skilled kitesurfer.

If you’d like to get a head start on the theory of kitesurfing, check out Progression—it’s a great resource.

Why Kitesurfing Lessons in Cape Town?

Many who have travelled to Cape Town will tell you about how it feels being bitten by the Cape Town travel bug.

Why Cape Town? Simple—where else in the world can you hike up one of the planet’s most iconic mountains, then just a few hours later, refresh yourself by kitesurfing alongside Southern Right Whales? Cape Town, South Africa, is Africa’s most diverse adventure city. One moment, you’re immersed in the vibrant city life, and the next, you’re face-to-face with a giraffe in the wild. Also we have EPIC kitesurfing locations, like you couldn’t imagine. Please note* All kite locations look way more incredible in real life. Contact me directly at kbrowning100@gmail.com if you’re interested in more information, on any other particular spots. Take a look at some of our popular kitesurf locations.

The famous wind in Cape Town.

From November to April, as the summer sun powers Southern Africa, a trade wind known locally as the “Cape Doctor” sweeps in from the southeast. While many locals find this wind a nuisance, for kitesurfers, it’s the ultimate signal to grab their gear and hit the beach! If you are interested in learning more on kitesurfing, Wikipedia , Virgin, Red Bull or our kitesurfing blog are great resources!

getting IKO kitesurfing certified

Getting Certified after your kitesurfing lessons.  

Upon completing any of our kitesurfing lessons, you’ll receive a unique IKO certification card, an essential asset for progressing in the sport. The International Kitesurfing Organization (IKO) is the world’s largest kitesurfing body, and their certifications are globally recognized.

With this card, you can rent kitesurfing gear worldwide, as it serves as a license displaying your skill level on the back. During your first lesson, you’ll cover the foundational skills needed to achieve Level 1A – 1E:

  • Level 1A: S.E.A. (Spot, Environment, Activity) Assessment, Kite Holding, Carrying, and Setup
  • Level 1B: Safety Systems, Pre-Flight Check
  • Level 1C: Launching and Landing as an Assistant, Wind Window Basics, Line Management
  • Level 1D: One-Handed Flying, Trim Adjustment, Walking with the Kite, Launching and Landing as a Pilot, Wind Window Theory
  • Level 1E: Quick Release Activation, Self-Landing, Equipment Packing
