Kitesurfing in Kenya for New Year!

It’s that time of year, when we start planning our New Year’s Eve celebrations. Whether we are simply going to head up the coast with a group of friends, gather around a campfire, or join in on an epic all night party in the mother city.

I thought that I would suggest an awesome alternative to the GUST readers, and that’s a getaway to Kenya after Christmas, returning after New Year’s. Lindsay Kennaway and Boris Polo are friends of GUST, who run H2OExtreme school and the Kenyaways Kite lodge, and are keen to welcome more of you to their home and kiting paradise.

Read more about the history of this destination in Lindsay’s account here.  The annual Safaricom Kenya Cup is a social event which many kiters from all over the world gather momentum for the new year! Also read about Lindsay’s trip from Cape Town to Cairo published in GUST a few season’s back. Contact Lindsay for booking enquiries or mail Boris about kiting and the event.

Kenya - Cape to Kenya Kite Adventure

Kenya is becoming an increasingly popular kitesurfing destination for South Africans. The typical kiting season begins in December, as the Kaskazi (north east) wind prevails, blowing a steady 15-30 knots though until March. However, the south east monsoon trade takes affect from beginning of June through to mid-September and is generally stronger providing better wave-riding conditions.

All aboard! Chitimba beach

Linsday Kennaway, who hosts kiters at her lodge, Kennaways at Diani beach is a friend of GUST magazine. She met with us at the GUST offices many years ago and we helped her gain momentum with her exciting venture from Cape Town all the way home to Kenya.
