250423005740 - Wind-surfing and Kite-surfing activities utilizing Temporary Floating Water-based Wave Breakers in the Lüderitz Lagoon 2, Lüderitz, //Kharas region, Namibia

The proposed wind-surfing and kite-surfing water sport activities will take place in the Lüderitz lagoon 2. The proponent intends to enhance water surfing activities as follows: (a) Using an alternative method of optimizing speed by installing temporary floating water-based wave breakers, (b) Adding kite-surfing and (c) Increase the number of water surfing events from one event per year to 2 events per year. The operator who is currently approved by MEFT () only operates wind-surfing in the Lüderitz lagoon 2 by digging and excavating a channel for speed optimization. Furthermore, the sport being only focused on wind-surfing and only held once a year limits the potential for investments, creation of employment, income generation and utilization of the wind-energy.
