Cape Verde / Dahab Trips
As keen windsurfers we like to experience the best conditions in the best locations. Measured against that we organise our trips around realistic budgets and variety of conditions to make them as accessible as possible to all levels of sailor.
Cape Verde
Situated just beneath the Canaries, the Cape Verde Islands have become popular with European water sports fanatics over the last few years with the introduction of an increased number of international airports. Sal has hosted a renowned PWA Wave Event for several years, with participants testing their nerve at Ponta Preta with it's 6m+ monsters in Jan/Feb as the swell pushes in from the Atlantic Ocean. The great thing about Sal is that there are plenty of diverse sailing locations to cater for everyone's needs from flat water blasting to manageable down the line wave sailing at Josh Angulo's Centre.
Our trips usually take place in Dec-March as this is the peak season for wind. As a minimum you should really be able to water start if you want to take full advantage of what Sal has to offer. Tuition is available locally and our instructor(s) will be there to provide any tips when they're not ripping.
Dahab
Dahab is one of the most reliable windsurfing destinations, situated about an hour's drive of Sharm El Sheik Airport on the Sinai Peninsula. Alongside getting some fantastic weather and having first rate underwater wildlife to behold, Dahab sports some of the most reliable wind on the planet and has three sailing locations to cater for everyone from beginner to expert. The pace is relaxed, your £ goes a long way compared to European destinations and there are a plethora of ninja-status instructors including our friends at Club Dahab/Sunsail. Our trips normally take place in October/November, ideal for couples, singles or families. You'll soon get to know everyone there and I dare say we'll see you in the taverns of Masbat if we're not sinking post-freestyling cocktails in the Hilton.
