SPOT
Sal - Kitesurf beach
KiteBeach, the surfing paradise in Cape Verde
The kite beach spot is 15 minutes from the city of Santa Maria. It is a long beach side shore slightly on (where the wind is across the beach, and brings you back to the edge) This wave spot is very evolving, a bit physical for beginners. Near the edge where you have your foot, beginners will reinforce the learning of the water start with a small foam that comes to unbalance them. As soon as the water start is mastered, the spot reveals its full potential. The start of the surf jumps. The words wave spot may be impressive, but you'll see that it's very accessible. On days when the swell comes in, you will take the time to go to the other side of the island to Punta Preta where the show is magnificent. This beach break wave (which tubes and breaks on the edge) is the playground for experts in windsurfing and kitesurfing.
