Cape Verde

Do you know Cape Verde and its Morabeza*?

Here, the wind remains constant until April, so it's a great opportunity to enjoy the excellent conditions and spend time learning or progressing with our ION CLUB Sal team on the water! Our two centres are a perfect meeting point to go riding in different spots. ION CLUB Santa Maria centre is located on the beautiful beach of the fishing town. It’s the ideal place to go kitesurfing if you have an advanced level. Its unlimited water and soft sand offer perfect conditions to surf the Santa Maria vibe. If you have beginner or intermediate levels, you will love kiting at Kite Beach, 5 – 6 min by car from our centre .

The spot in front of the ION CLUB Santa Maria is offshore wind from the left, only adapted for experienced kitesurfers. Cape Verde is one of the best destinations for waves. The whole coast offers the best spots in the world for waves, and there are some for all levels. It will be your next playground for sure!

2023 starts with a new member of the ION CLUB family, Matchu Lopes – kitesurfing world champion 2016 and vice world champion 2022. He is a native of the country, and we are very proud to have him as our ION CLUB Sal Ambassador. You might see him on and around the spots until the end of the season.

(*motto from Cape Verde, it's a lifestyle that combines a sense of welcome, a gentle way of life, happiness, laughter and freedom of the heart and mind.)
