Kitesurfing in Platboom and Yzerfontein, South Africa – Appletree Surfboards

Platboom and Yzerfontein are two of South Africa’s most iconic and demanding kite spots. Cold water, heavy swell, and pumping wind.

For this session, Sanka chose the Apelviken 5”2. This board was designed from the ground up specifically for lightweight riders. It features a thinner rail and a narrow tail for ultimate control in big surf, while the flatter middle section helps pushing upwind through heavy currents. A balanced all-rounder that stays snappy and responsive without needing a lot of body weight to turn.
