Should you experience one of the rare days without wind and waves at "Cape of storms", you can relax in our pool or have a drink at our infamous bar! There is so much to do in and around Cape Town on no wind days.

Mountain climbing

The Western Cape offers you a lot more than windsurfing and surfing. Why don’t you join us for a climbing session? Most of the rocks and mountains we climb are situated directly on the coastline or in one of the Cape Peninsula National Parks.

Our favourite location is called "Peers Cave" on the Cape Peninsula. Everybody from beginners to pros will find the right setting to match their skills! We’ll show you how to use the equipment and which are the best routes to climb the walls.
"Talking to the trees" is more than a vertical-climbing route of up to 45°. From up there you have an overwhelming view of the Indian Ocean on your left and the Atlantic on your right!

You’ll be fully stoked!


Mountain Biking

South Africa is a mountain biking haven. There are hundreds of mountains around the Western Cape province, each with numerous biking trails. You’ll find everything from easy wide trails to single tracks, with steep downhills, sandy and muddy sections and some backbreaking uphills. In addition there is a previous Worldcup downhill track too. Cyclists are welcome to join “Pick & Pay Argus Cycle Tour”, the world’s largest timed cycle event with over 35000 participants. It takes place along some the Cape Town’s pristine coastline.

Just enquire with us, if your require bicycles.

Sailing

Come on a sailing cruise with us! A close friends owns a boat and we can discover table bay... In the evenings we use to have a nice fish-braai on the sea!

Sex with the gods - Parachuting

Parachuting is one of the ultimate adrenaline rushes. You have to try it! The Drop Zone is situated only a mere 20 minutes drive from the Cape Surf Hostel. Tandem jumping – when you are strapped to a professional instructor is the most popular way to feel the rush as you get "free fall" on your first jump. The second most popular way is take lessons and obtain your licence, which is relatively easy and cheap in South Africa. There after you can obtain "Advanced Free Fall (AFF)" without a staticline and any direct help. In case you fail to open your parachute two professional’s jump with you and are be prepared to rescue you while free falling. The staticline lessons are about R350 each. They do not include a free fall. Just let us know if you want to have "sex with the gods".

Kloofing

Kloofing is Afrikaans word and means Cliff jumping. There is a river near Gordons Bay with rocky high cliffs to the left and right. You can decide which jumps you would like to do. They range from 5 to 22 metres high. Please note that the highest jumps can be dangerous. But even if you don’t jump, it is still an exciting adventure.
