You simply have to have a go at kitesurfing in Cape Town. Based on Blouberg’s world-famous ‘Kitebeach’ – considered one of the premiere kitesurfing spots on the planet – Cabrinha offers lessons and equipment rentals, and is widely considered the top outfitter of its kind. A two-hour lesson (with no more than two students per instructor) costs R495, though you’ll probably need three sessions before you’re feeling confident enough to go it alone.
