Itinerary / Highlights

THE WIND
The wind in the Cape Verde islands is very reliable, and strong, between the months of October to June. There are few destinations that offer such consistently strong conditions for October to December; for most other destinations, both long and short haul, these can be very tricky months as they are between seasons.
At the main spot the wind blows side-offshore from the left and is slightly gusty in the centre of the bay.

THE KITESURFING
For those requiring instruction Planet work with Skyriders in Sal who offer a very high level of service and have excellent instructors. There is also plenty of space for beginners to body drag and for those that have not yet mastered sailing up wind. Because of the way that the beach is shaped you will constantly return to the shore even if you cannot relaunch your kite. Sal is not the easiest place to learn due to the shore break and heavy swell but it will make you a better kiter in the long run to have learnt here!
