Sailing Spot and Conditions - Langebaan 
Approximately 1 hr 30 minutes drive along the coast from Cape Town is the town of Langebaan. The surrounding picturesque beaches and crystal clear, shallow water areas off Langabaan are one of its’ main attractions. Langebaan’s protected lagoon, consistent wind and fairly shallow, warm waters offers ideal learning conditions as well as high speed, flat water blasting. Once you’re confident enough to venture out, the sailing area provides both sheltered and windier spots, flat water and waves. The Langebaan windsurf centre offers ready to use rental of the latest Tabou Windsurf boards and the latest Gaastra and Vandal sails, as well as kitesurfing equipment, wetsuits, float vests, surf boards, body boards and stand up paddle boards. There is also a shop on site where you can purchase new or second hand kit of your own.

Langebaan is home to many annual sporting events, festivals and exhibitions.The town has plenty of choice for accommodation, restaurants, attractions and activities, as well as the West Coast National Park. Located at the base of Table Mountain and opposite Robben Island, the Waterfront, in Cape Town, has become one of South Africa’s most visited destinations, staying here offers incredible ocean and mountain views, shopping, entertainment and restaurants. The nearby Camps Bay beach area, situated close to the Twelve Apostles mountain range, with famous Table Mountain backdrop, is a popular destination, offering a choice of self catering, boutique or luxury beach resort style, hotel accommodation. You can start or end your trip in Cape Town and extend with a safari in the National Parks, or visit Lions Head at Table Mountain and the Twelve Apostles mountain range, all arranged by Sportif.
