Boardsailing, Windsurfing, Sandboarding & Kite Surfing

South Africa has some of the best windsurfing and kite surfing in the world. There are a number of good spots all along the coast but Langebaan, near Cape Town, is fast becoming an international and boardsailing and kite surfing mecca.

South Africa has also got some of the best and least crowded beaches anywhere in the world. Durban is the main centre, but surfing is possible along most of the coastline.

There are surf schools all along the coast, particularly in and around Durban, at Jeffreys Bay, along the Garden Route and in Cape Town. Surfboards can be rented in most coastal cities and many second hand shops, where you can by a board for the duration of your stay and re-sell if when you leave.

Unlike surfing and snow boarding, sand boarding is easy to learn and accessible to beginners so adrenaline is just a slide away. You can sand board in several scenic spots in Namibia.
