Our Kitesurfing Spots

Shark Bay
Our stunning kitesurfing spot Shark Bay, is a quick 5-minute drive from Main Beach and is part of the Langebaan lagoon. The shallow and flat water, with its various shades of blue, make Shark Bay a paradise for beginners and a perfect spot for progression. If you're lucky, you may spot the harmless and shy sand-sharks that gives the spot its name.

Main Beach
You will find Main Beach right in the center of Langebaan village, close to the restaurants and shops. It is a great kitesurfing spot as it brings a lot of space on and off the water. With the view to Sharpen-Island, you will be kiting in more deep water, which makes the spot a bit more challenging, but it is still beginner friendly and fun to learn.
