The Cape Coast Chapter is thrilled to launch the 2023/2024 summer kitesurfing season with an exclusive opportunity for learning and networking. We are delighted to announce our inaugural Cape Coast Water Sports Business Event, scheduled for Wednesday, 25 October 2023, from 16h00 to 18h00 at the Blaauwberg Beach Hotel.
