Frequently Asked Questions

Are Sharks a Problem for kitesurfing in Cape Town?

Due to the fact that many Europeans kitesurfers have questions about sharks and a person’s safety in the water in Cape Town we feel we need to address the question. The stories about sharks is mostly a prejudice originating from European media seeking attention. All we know is that sharks have never been a problem for any kitesurfers here in Cape Town, and you should not be worried when visiting Cape Town for kitesurfing. There have never in history been any shark attacks at the kitesurfing beaches we visit - although we have hundreds of kitesurfers, windsurfers and surfers lying in the water for hours here. Our school children learn surfing in Cape Town during their sports education at these beaches and there has never been an incident with sharks.
