Kick off Summer with a bang!

Above is another stunning view of Table View beach also known as Kite Beach overlooking Table Mountain on a hot Summer's day.

It offers something for every kitesurfer and windsurfer. You may choose to kitesurf at Dolphin Beach and you can expect epic thick waves with carving bottom turns and BIG kite loops or hanging airs!

Do you  want fast rides through the surf along with fast floating big air jumps? Well then move a bit further down to the centre of kite beach (in front of BKA (Board And Kite) shop for fast waves and clean wind.

Perhaps you just want to surf along the waves moving downwind as you catch a few lips and smooth bottom turns, well then that's no problem either. Just start at Dolphin Beach and work your way down the beach with friends until you reach Doodles (opposite Doodles restaurant).

There are endless options for the avid windsurfer and kitesurfing fanatic.

The early morning sky at Table View Lodge

February rain in Cape Town is very rare but it is much needed. Stunning early morning sky...as usual.
