South Africa is one of the main winter destinations where you can almost guarantee to head out for warmer climes and regular winds. If you base yourself with us you can find a regular swell running too. During January the swell will often be head high and have a long wave period too. The wind blows cross shore from the left. Its windy season runs from November until April and it is a country where you can depend on for scenery, food and great prices too. It’s a place where you can kite under the African sun day in, day out on no bigger than your 9m or 7m. Its a paradise for wave riders.
On this incredible adventure you will stay in a holiday house in Blouberg. Its just 30 minutes from the airport. The trip will be to help you develop your skills on a waveboard and as a wave rider. You will already need to be competent on a wave board to take part. To begin the trip you will ride on a flat water spot where you and Dom will work on your existing skills. It will be a chance to brush off the winter cobwebs, refine your gibing technique and your kite skills during your turns and transitions. Dom will also cover rescue techniques in case you ever get caught out by a cheeky wave on this trip or another time in the future. This will set you up for the rest of the trip in the waves.
The aim of the trip is to take you to where the conditions are safe yet challenging. We will always look for consistent wind, cross shore conditions and a sandy beach with an easy launch and land. We will look for a spot where the waves are sizeable but not massive. The aim is for you can feel safe and secure while learning the skills that Dom will be guiding you through.
For those who would like, there will be a rest day during the trip where you can either ride by yourself in one of the best spots for the day or you can take the chance to visit some of South Africa’s greatest landmarks such as Table Mountain or Cape Point.
There are a maximum number of 6 spaces available but partners are welcome at a reduced cost.
This trip will be an unforgettable experience where you will go home with the satisfactory aches and pains of too much time on the water plus the photos and video footage to prove it. With your new wave riding skills up your sleeve Dom aims to send you back feeling happier, healthier, fitter and ready to rock on the water on your return.
