Are you ready to take kite lessons in Cape Town? Because it’s exciting, easy to learn, and most of all, a lot of fun, kitesurfing has become the fastest-growing extreme sport in the world.
Kitesurfing can be frustrating for some beginners, but once you get beyond the “total beginner” stage and into the “having fun” stage, it becomes a lot more enjoyable. While it’s possible to learn kiteboarding without the proper equipment (a kite, a board, and a harness), you’ll need a trained instructor to help you along!
What should be your level of fitness for kitesurfing?
Kitesurfing in Cape Town is not a sport that requires a lot of physical exertion, contrary to popular opinion. On the sea, you’ll frequently see 10-year-olds. If you’re a woman, don’t worry about the presumption that you must have enormous biceps.
It’s just not true that anyone can kitesurf with the correct kite. The kite’s pull is transmitted through your harness, not your arms, so your abs get the most of the work. You must be able to swim and have a reasonable degree of fitness in order to participate.
Is it expensive to take kitesurfing lessons?
An important kitesurfing set contains the kite itself, as well as a bar and lines, a harness, and an appropriate board for use in the water.
New equipment can cost between 1500 and 2000 GBP / 1700 and 2300 EUR, depending on the brand and the specifications you require. If you go with last year’s model, you may sometimes save 30 to 40 percent off the RRP by purchasing it.
You can acquire all the stuff you need for roughly 500 GBP/ 580 EUR if you’re willing to go second-hand. Second-hand kites can be purchased by simply knowing the year they were made.
Kites have improved so much in recent years that the performance of a brand-new kite and a kite that is five years old differs noticeably.
How long does it take to learn this activity?
It takes just three days to learn to ride with confidence. Unlike other sports; kitesurfing isn’t nearly as difficult as it appears at first. A power kite, skateboarding, snowboarding, or wakeboarding background will get you a long way toward mastering this sport.
Three days and four hours every day should have you up and ride. To master riding upwind, you’ll need kite lessons in Cape Town as often as possible to solidify your abilities. If you can ride upwind, you’ll be able to avoid problems, avoid danger, and return to your starting point.
