The spot is on the shores of the huge Langebaan lagoon, one hours drive north of Cape Town on the west coast of South Africa. The turkish blue water of the 20km long X 1,5km wide lagoon offers exceptional flat water windsurfing and also magnificent kitesurfing for beginners through to advanced.
There is a shop, a school and also the Sandwich Deli where one can get snacks and drinks, change rooms and warm showers. Surrounding this big 600m2 hall is grass to rigg on and also a place to sun bathe out of the wind for the ladies.

The wind direction in summer is side shore and the wind statistics show that from October to March we have 20 – 25 days wind over 20 knots per month. From November through to February one can expect some days of up to 35 knots. In the early mornings it is amazing to rent a sea kayak and venture into the lagoon to see all the birds, seals, penguins and sea life around you.

This perfect combination of wind and infrastructure has brought the German Surf Magazine here to do their Mega Windsurf Test, for 10 years now, of all their wave and freeride equipment. The first week of each November all the manufacturers / designers of windsurf boards and sails meet here with the magazine staff to discuss and present their products for the coming season. All these guys are very approachable so it is a great chance for the public to come and meet them.
