About​ Us

Established in 2017​



At Obsession Kiting, we are driven by a passion for kitesurfing and a commitment to creating a safe, inclusive, and vibrant community. Founded by Megan and Shannon du Plessis, our journey began with a shared love for the sport and a vision to bring the thrill of kitesurfing to others.
Megan has been teaching kitesurfing since 2012, bringing years of experience and a deep understanding of the sport. Shannon, with her background in working with Hobie cats and a keen business acumen, complements Megan perfectly, making them an unstoppable team. Together, they established Obsession Kiting in 2017, transforming their passion into a thriving kitesurfing school.
