Why Blowfish Is The Best Spot For Kitesurfers

Blowfish is located in the beautiful coastal town of Blouberg, which is known for its killer waves and great wind conditions. This makes Blouberg the excellent spot for kitesurfing and if you have visited us before, you might have seen the colourful kites decorating the blue sky. At Blowfish and Dolphin Beach, we have a massive kitesurfing community and we’re here to tell you exactly why, besides the brilliant weather conditions, we are going to become your new favourite spot for kitesurfing.

1. Direct beach access

We are the only property on the Blouberg beach strip that has direct access to the beach! When you stay at Dolphin Beach, the hotel attached to our restaurant, you can roll out of bed and be in the water within two minutes. No trying to find parking and lugging your gear around for 15 minutes – with us it is easy and convenient.

2. Rolling lawns for gear set-up and break-down

The luscious green lawns at Blowfish and Dolphin Beach offer a picture-perfect view of the ocean and Table Mountain while you set up your gear in the morning and pack away in the evening. Our green space is also the perfect location to unwind after the day of excitement.

3. Kite shop on the premises

Located in the old wine cellar at Blowfish, is our proudest new addition: a kite shop! Here, you can browse and purchase new gear, or discuss maintenance and repairs of your current equipment. If you need anything or simply have a question, head on over to the store, where they will be happy to assist you.

4. No need to bring anything but the absolute necessary

Besides having you covered with the kite shop, we also have other important equipment. We have a renting station, a water drum for rinsing boards, a drying rack for wet gear, and a compressor to pump your kites. This makes your trip so much easier, as you only have to pack the absolute necessary.

5. Secure estate

Blowfish and Dolphin Beach Hotel are situated within a secure estate, meaning that any concerns regarding missing or stolen gear will become a thing of the past. The estate is only accessible after passing the security station and traffic boom. Security guards patrol frequently, and the estate is surrounded by secure fencing. If you are staying with us, the rooms are only accessible by key card. Our reception staff and restaurant team are always vigilant, as you and your safety are our top priority.

6. Our hotel is simply the best

Dolphin Beach Hotel is located on the same property as Blowfish, and there is direct access between the two. The apartment-style rooms and cabanas offer a relaxing home to return to after a day spent in the waves and air. The rooms are equipped with a kitchen and separate bedroom and living room, and you can order food from Blowfish directly to your room if you are looking for a private dinner experience. Have a rejuvenating night’s rest in our comfy beds and wake up ready for another full day of adventures.

7. We are big on community!

Lastly, Blowfish and Dolphin Beach have an amazing and welcoming kitesurfing community. Blowfish frequently hosts events for the kiting community and is the perfect spot to refresh during and after a day’s kiting with delicious food and drink, as well as excellent vibes. On top of this, we have the best view in Cape Town, meaning that both your action shots and your relaxed dinner and sundowner pictures will outshine the rest.
