About Strandfontein

Strandfontein serves experienced riders navigating variable water conditions from flat to choppy depending on wind strength and timing. This technical spot demands strong board control and kite management skills, making it unsuitable for beginners or progression learners. The slipway launch provides dedicated water access, essential for handling strong wind days. Conditions here require respect and proper planning—read forecasts carefully and check local conditions before committing. Best for intermediate-plus riders comfortable with choppy water and demanding wind.
