About this spot
Hobie Beach works as the primary launch zone in Algoa Bay, Port Elizabeth. This spot is a staple for the local kite scene, benefiting from reliable summer winds that sweep across the bay.
The conditions are generally suitable for freeriding and jumping, with the bay providing a relatively protected environment compared to the open ocean. It is a popular gathering point for South African riders during the windy season.
