The best place for me to progress, is Cape Town. In the high season you have wind at least 4-5 days a week, usually blowing 25 knots strong or more. You are able to ride in the right conditions almost every day and you have kickers, so you can go extra high. Cape Town is the best!
Now you know where to head next to progress in your favorite discipline. to further your progression, download the academy app and the tricks that you want to pursue on your trip. if the lesson video doesn't answer all your questions, start a discussion with our community or get tips from our highly experienced super coaches.
