LOCATION
‘Kite Beach’ in Table View is known as the Capetonian Mecca of kitesurfing. The beach is perfectly angled for riders to make the most of the prevailing Summer Southeasterly wind (affectionately known as the ‘Cape Doctor’) as well as the Westerly swell needed to provide the ramps for the kiters to launch off.
