Finn and the Wild Wind
Kite day, and the wind is far too strong. Finn grumbles and wants to go home. Until he starts looking around.
Facts about kitesurfing
How it works
- Near Cape Town, from October to March (that's spring and summer there), a strong wind often blows from the south-east. It's called the Cape Doctor.
- When that wind blows, there is often a white cloud over Table Mountain. It's called the tablecloth.
- On the beach at Blouberg, it's usually windier in the afternoon than in the morning.
- You can see the wind: in a flag, in blowing sand and in white caps on the waves.
- When it's too windy, even a small kite pulls far too hard for a child. But grown-up kiters on the water love that kind of wind.
