BEGINNER KITESURF COURSES & ADVANCED LESSONS

Blouberg, Cape Town
2022

KITESURFSCHOOL RELOADED

Our dream is to create a reciprocal kitesurf community for South Africa's lesser fortunates.

 

The past Covid years have been turbulent for everyone. For us it was time for something new!

 

We decided to re-open the kiteschool in Blouberg, Cape Town.

 

Besides teaching kitesurfing, our aim is, to professionally educate unfortunate disadvantaged youngsters.

 

We will teach them a skillset that can be used in South Africa's kitesurfing industry.

 

- By simply booking a lesson, you help us achieve this goal.

When there is no wind, you'll find him in the water, either openwaterswimming (check out www.fox-openwaterswimming.com), diving, hiking or eating.

 

Thomas studied psychology. Even-though he is not active in the field of psychology, this might explain where his patience comes from when he teaches.
