According to Grant Ross, owner of kite and surf shop Open Ocean in Blouberg, 70% of annual turnover is made during "in season", which is from October until the end of March. "Since the president's last speech, it looks like we'll be earning 10% of what we normally earn in January," he said. A number of kiting schools have already closed down, he added.
