During a beach hop session, I happened to stop at Warner Beach to see if it has changed much since I was last there about 5 years ago. Getting out of the car, I was blown away by the view in front of me with its different shades of blues both in the sky and of the ocean.
It was my lucky day, not only was the sky and ocean stunning but I had the privilege to be mesmerised by two kitesurfers playing in the deep blue waves for at least an hour. The conditions for kitesurfing was perfect, a sunny, cloudless day with constant side-shore winds blowing at 15 to 21 knots. Kitesurfing is a sport where they use a small surfboard and a kite powered by the wind to ride the waves.
I am proud to report that the kitesurfers of South Africa in 2016 set a new World Record for the "Largest Parade of Kitesurfers" with 415 kitesurfers completing a one-mile course Between Dophin Beach and Doodles in Cape Town.
Warner Beach is a small little coastal village south of the Manzimtoti River. The ideal beach for watching dolphins and whales playing in the warm Indian Ocean, perfect for surfing and also for the annual “Sardine Run” which takes place during May through until July.
