Kitesurfing Brandvlei


Every so once in a while, when the wind stops blowing in Cape Town, and the situation becomes desperate, a bunch of kiters heads inland where sunny skies and steady wind awaits them.

Wind is never further than an hour and 15 minutes from Cape Town. This magical spot almost always delivers when it's windless in Cape Town.

With the sun shining, snow on the mountains and a solid 20 - 25 knots of wind myself, MJ, Alex, Floyd and Anthony shared a great day of fun on the water at Brandvlei.

Floyd delivered the best moves of the day along with a few equally impressive wipeouts.

Really rad mission guys, as my first trip to Brandvlei, i dont think i could of asked for it to be any better. Definately gonna frequent the spot more often.

Nice one. But there are so many stories about the spot. I've been there once and it was 20 knots, quite choppy, but good conditions as there were certain parts in the dam that was clean.

Now: Some guys say you must kite it when its nuking in CPT with 30 knots plus SE, others say you must go to Brandvlei when there is no wind... which one is it?
