ABOUT US
who we are
Hello!…or as we like to say here in Cape Town, ‘Molo’! (Maw-law). Africa, this is our home…and this is our playground. Here at Molo Africa we like to create opportunities for people to embrace the elements. Our kiteschool offers kitesurfing lessons for all levels and all ages! Our instructors are IKO Certified which allows them to take a step by step approach to the sport, giving you the necessary skills to progress in either freestyle, free ride or wave riding, while keeping safety at the forefront. Our home beach has plenty of space, wind and waves, but if need be, we can adventure up the coast to the Langebaan Lagoon which offers the same awesome wind, but smooth and flat conditions.
SPOT INFO
Van Riebeeckstrand (the northern part of Melkbosstrand) offers long, spacious beaches and endless waves. As the predominant South Easter wind, or as we like to call it, the Cape Doctor, sweeps across the peninsula, it wraps around the point and hugs the coast creating a perfect cross/cross-onshore breeze. As it passes the city, the bay effect turns the breeze slightly and increases it’s speed, making the western coastline a kitesurfers paradise. Wind speeds average 15-20kts in the mornings and 20-30kts in the afternoons. The western swell, amplified by the wind, pushes through some good sets ranging from 0.5m to 7.0m sets, however, we mostly experience between 2-4m waves. What makes this a good spot for learning is the space available and the gradual slope of the shoreline in the shallows, so no shore break to contend with and nice smooth patches in between waves.
OTHER WATERSPORT OPTIONS
We are also well connected so if you would like to learn to Windsurf, Surf, SUP, Foil or pretty much do anything else adventurous, please contact us for more info. (but we definitely recommend kitesurfing!).
