My husband and I stayed with Constantly Kiting for a week in November and had a great experience. We learnt to kite surf and wing foil with Wes and Shaun - both were brilliant instructors, very experienced and made it super fun. Our room was also very spacious and clean, and a good location a 5 minute walk from the Main Street. Great atmosphere at the school - would highly recommend staying and kiting with these guys!

We learned a lot and had a lot of fun!

My girlfriend, a beginner in kitesurfing, and I, an advanced kitesurfer, had a great time at Constantly Kiting. For a really fair price, we had a great time on the water with private instructors (Ricky and Sean).

We'll be back! Highly recommended!

I spent a week on the Constantly Kiteing 'zero to hero' and staying at their accommodation. The hospitality, friendliness, and tuition were outstanding. It was wonderful being part of the Constantly Kiteing extended family for the week - great people, and great fun!
Shaun, my tutor, was outstanding. He definitely taught the old (52 years) dog some new tricks. We really had to put the hours in to make up for some windless days - Shaun was completely up for that and the fact that i was completely broken by the end was entirely my doing!
I shall definitely be continuing my kiteing thanks to Wes and the team and have promised Shaun i will be back to learn jumps at some point in the future.
Amazing time - thanks to all the team.

We had a very good time staying over at the Constantly Kiting Appartments. It is very close to the kitespot & most restaurants. Wesley and his team are nice people give good classes & support. Also Wesley parents are very friendly & hospitable. For sure we go back.

booked a 2 day private 1on1 course in Feb.
my progress was excellent due to some similar experiences (windsurf, snowboard etc) but less due to the teaching

Positive:
-Flexible with the wind: they allowed the course to be shifted to the windy days.
-security

To be improved:
-the instructors take at least an hour in the morning to pack up gear. then start discussing once on the beach again, who takes what.
-the 5 hours of teaching are always cut short
-not much material: no flexibility on board sizes, not enough different size kites
-instructing limited: viewed only from the beach, not possible to see areas for improvement on the water, and close to the beach one cannot ride due to the beginners 'mingle'
-pressure you into course booking if you want to rent: " we cannot promise any gear if you don't book a course, you might end up empty handed for rental only"
-no wlan at station
-no bar or any other 'get to gether with other guests' opportunity at station
-no hot water shower
-only 5-3 wetsuites (i froze even with a 2-2 shorty below)
-no waist harnesses (i used my trainers)
-reluctance to go to sharkbay - even though if you pressure hard they come -allows for better teaching in the water as the trainer can stand in the water and see you. or kite with you and one can stand an discuss in the water.
-I once couldn't reach my board due to the current, an instructor who was kiting for himself saw it but did not bother getting me the board...

Both Wesley and Maike are flat out unprofessional and not worth giving your business to. Based on their repeated confirmation of services, I drove 2.5 hours to rent gear from them to only find that they didn't have any gear for me. And, the worst part is that they didn't seem to care!!! I was told that I should have arrived earlier.

I flew to Cape Town for a 10 day trip at year end 2014. Well over a month ago, I found these Constantly folks on the internet and emailed them to request a gear rental. They confirmed my gear rental for the week I would be there. I followed up a few days before via email and reconfirmed. Upon arriving in Cape Town, I once again emailed the specific day that I would be coming up to Langebaan. On the day of, I called at 10:30am and was asked to call back again because they were assessing the situation with wind and students. I then called back at 12:30pm and was told to come on up... I'd be accommodated.

So, I then hopped in the car and drove 2.5 hours to this spot, to only pull in the driveway of Constantly and be greeted with a "oh, sorry, we have already rented out all of our gear this morning..." Really?!?! I couldn't have been more livid and yet both Wesley and Maike found this to be acceptable. Rather then complain I left. I went to 6 other stores in town and ended up empty handed..... and ENTIRE day out of my holiday wasted because these guys were unprofessional.

The worst part was that at 8:00pm that day, after all of this had unfolded, I received an email from them telling me that they would have gear for me and to call them in the morning to let me know exactly what time I was arriving. Really?!?

There are MANY other schools and gear shops in Langebaan, look elsewhere for more professional and reliable service.

First of all thank you for your Review. Kitesurfing this year in Langebaan has really grown to the point that even I've been surprised by the amount of demand that has hit us. While this has good and bad implications in the kitesurfing business here in Langebaan, It doesn't excuse us from making a few mistakes along the way. To say we where Rude & Incompetent is a bit far fetched. We may have good days and bad days.. but never Rude. Based on your last communication with us we where lead to believe that you would be with us no later than 2:30. you had let us know that you would be with us no later than that time. After attempts to contact you failed after 3:10 according to the last chance we tried contacting you, I did what any business man would have done to insure that food is put on the table for his kids.. I hired the equipment out we had set aside for you.. " this was my mistake " not my staff's and certainly not Maike's "my Assistant". " she does an amazing job here at the school and her communication is fantastic with all our staff and clients. My staff and I work hard here at the school, and it's a full time job making sure that we keep clients happy, Our equipment is always clean, new and up to date, and every year we grow the school to be able to service more clients, and i hope to continue this growth with more better serivce and better communication. Your Review has already kicked me into action to take bookings for our rental department online which will guarantee that your gear is waiting for you when you arrive. Only this year we added a booking system online as well that has made our school operate without fault in details of communication. As i said in my email to you. I hope you've enjoyed your time in South Africa and should you come to SA again, we would be more than willing to make up for your experience with us. Kind & Warm regards Wesley Constantly Kiting.

Not taking anything away from the great instructors I was very disappointed in the lack of organisation and communication. The structure of the lessons and the lessons themselves were great, can’t fault them there. But considering these are not cheap and you want to get the most out of the experience it was very frustrating standing around while the organisation happens around you, equipment is searched for, kites get borrowed by staff for a quick ride, kit gets left at the office, etc... Seems like very little upfront planning was made and they could, with a little bit of effort, be far better prepared and waste less of your expensive time.

The kites and bar were very new and in great condition. The board and other kit (impact vests, helmets, wetsuits) somewhat old but still functional.

This is one of the best schools in South Africa situated in Langebaan, a small town about 1 hour drive up the West Coast from Cape Town. Langebaan is definitely the best spot to learn kitesurfing and Wesley and the Constantly Kiting team offer the most professional and progressive lessons for all levels of kiting from beginner up untill advanced, using the best quality kite equipment. Highly recommended for all those wanting to learn to kite or better their kiting.
