Vle%EBrplankryden%20in%20South-Africa%20met%20Esther

My first kitesurfholdiday ever... I didn't have to teach kitesurfing this time and was able to kitesurf all day! It was great!

We flew with South-African Airways from Amsterdam to Capetown. (never ever go with that airline!!) The flight itself was perfect, checking in with wind/kite/surfgear was a nightmare.

Stephan picked us up from the airport (thanx Steef) and after a powernap we drove to Langebaan for my first South-African kitesession.

I especially brought the Rocketfish waveboard with me, but I found out that Langebaan was a flat water spot. So I put my Jaime Pro together and did some freestyle.

Capetown by night Table mountain

The following days we stayed around Capetown. I only used my 7 meter Rebel (yep, it is quite windy in Capetown) and the Rocketfish which I fell in love with this trip. It took some time to get used to strong winds and bigger waves, but I could go on and on for hours on my new board. It was so cool! We did fantastic downwinders in 25 knots with overhead high waves. Kitebeach to Derdesteen was the favourite route.
