Obsession Kiting

An IKO Pro Centre run by sisters Megan and Shannon since 2017, teaching kitesurfing, wing foiling and wakeboarding on the lagoon. Lessons cap at two students per instructor and everything is included — kite, board, harness, wetsuit, helmet and impact vest — with a rescue boat on the water and two-way radios in the helmets, which is what makes a first lesson feel manageable rather than alarming. Being an IKO centre means the competency certificate you leave with is recognised anywhere in the world. Lessons are R1,150 an hour; wakeboarding is charged by the boat at R2,500 an hour for up to three people, plus R750 for each extra person, to a maximum of five. They also hire out equipment, run boat lessons on windless days, and train instructors through a pro course. Open daily in season, from October until just after Easter.
