Hi there, just wanted to share a quick video of myself in Cape Town recently, sorry that the loops wearnt great, conditions felt weird that day. I tried to show a bit more of what Cape Town has to offer other than kitesurfing. Feel free to leave criticism or positive comments.

Thanks everyone, yes it was just a solid week of 30 knots everyday. It was insane!

Thanks James great to see a vid where the crashes were not edited out. That was really cool, watching you guys inspires me to try to go harder, go higher.... but land a little softer
As chance would have it, blew 30 - 35 knots at my local today (Tues) and a couple of the boys including myself were coming in stoked claiming some of their best jumps ever, but I have only really started looping and I didn't have the balls... next time.

Great images- captures the essence of it. I had a week in same conditions in early Jan; probably only 6 hours of daylight in that week that wasn't kiteable. Great conditions for wave riding as well, particularly on down winders.

Thanks, I probably saw you down there as I was there from the 1st to 8th of Jan. I think we were very lucky to get that window of wind because the week after the wind just seemed to drop.

Good vid. Always been intrigued by CT - next southern summer methinks.
Any tips on good suburbs to stay that are not too flashy. I'd like a bit of easy going culture at night, but the journo in me may take me elsewhere so I get an idea of SA's problems.
