Lessons & Rentals
Lessons
Cape Town Kite Club does not itself run a kiteschool – our focus is on running the best possible accommodation without the distraction of teaching at the same time. We do, however, know all the local schools and can advise and recommend places to learn (if you are a beginner) or improve if you need for example wave-coaching or just want to learn a new trick.
We do not ask for, or accept, commission from schools or coaches we send referrals to.
Rentals
Cape Town Kite Club is pleased to offer kitesurfing equipment rental with rental partner North Kiteboarding.
We have 5 strut Orbits in sizes 6m, 7m, 8m, 9m and 10m and 3 strut Reach kites in sizes 8m, 10m and 12m.
We stock twin tips and wave boards. We have small, medium and large harnesses. If possible, bring your own wetsuit however if you cannot then (subject to availability) we have the most commonly rented wetsuit sizes, which is (men’s) S, M, L and XL wetsuits.
We don’t rent by the hour or half day – all rentals are full day/same day.
Rentals are intended for competent kitesurfers rather than “to learn on” so we will ask you about your kiting level prior to agreeing a rental.
An indemnity form will have to be completed prior to rental and for people wishing to rent who are not guests of the club your passport will be held as security for the duration of the rental.

Rental enquiries
Please use the form opposite to send a rental enquiry. We don’t take formal reservations (because we don’t charge if there is no wind) but we do make a note of potential bookings. Letting us know in advance helps us to try to avoid allocating the same equipment twice.
We then recommend that we make contact with each other again a day or two before once the forecast becomes clear.
