Langebaan Main Beach

Kitesurfing spot information

Langebaan is a great kitesurfing spot . There is a wide beach which is perfect for beginners. The water is flat with a little chop. Langebaan Lagoon is also great for freestyle and freeride kitesurfing.

Important to know is the strong current when the tide is going out. The current can be incredibly strong and that can make kitesurfing in a SE wind very unpleasant. You spend most of the time trying to get wind to your starting point. The other way round, when the tide is coming in, it can be perfect, effortless kitesurfing on Langebaan Main Beach.

After a day of good kitesurfing you can grab something to eat and to drink in one of the great restaurants located on the beach of Langebaan. Best recommendation is Pearly`s restaurant. There are also shops available.
