We simply can’t describe Cape Verde better than Phillippe, a local entrepreneur does at 0:44 in the video below, so take a look… This says a lot for Cape Verde as a great wave riding destination, considering the KSP’s incredibly high standards for wave and wind quality and consistency. More recently however, Cape Verde appeared on the radar of kitesurfers around the world, when the KSP chose Ponta Preta, Cape Verde as the final stop on the 2011 KSP World Pro Tour. Factors such as these and Cape Verde’s reputation as a hidden paradise were what initially convinced the organizers to decide that Cape Verde would play host to the Professional Windsurfers World Cup Competition (PWA) which was held there in February 2007. Temperatures during the summer months from May-November range from a sunny 29☌ and can reach a moderate 19☌ at night-time. Kiters who have been fortunate enough to visit Cape Verde will tell you that the waves here are fantastic, and the wind is constant, even during the so-called ‘rainy season’ which runs from August to October. Kitesurfers at all levels will be pleased to hear that Cape Verde has pleasant year-round weather, perfect for multi-spot offerings where you can kitesurf to your heart’s content. The various islands which comprise this gem off the West African coast, offer the intrepid kitesurfer a glimpse at different vistas and spectacular views, from its many beautiful beaches, quaint and rustic towns with cobbled streets, windswept sand dunes, lush tropical greenery, secluded coves, along with a few volcanoes thrown in for good measure… oh, and did we mention the pristine kitesurfing conditions? So a few days in Cape Verde should definitely be on your list of destinations to visit during the winter holidays, as this is a place where you can get your fill of sun, sea and surf almost all year round. Cape Verde is still relatively unspoilt, ruggedly charming and most of all, still quite cheap. Think of the 10 emerald islets which make up the Cape Verde archipelago as the Canaries, or some of the island paradises in the Caribbean long before mass tourism and over-development of these popular destinations set in. Looking for something out of the ordinary and a one of a kind kitesurfing experience? Pack your bags and your kite gear and head on over to the sun kissed beaches of the Cape Verde Islands located just off the west coast of Africa.īlessed with powder-fine, sandy beaches, deserted sand dunes and azure blue waters, some of which you can have all to yourself and your buddies, the Cape Verde islands are a hidden gem for kitesurfers who are eager to book a holiday in the sun and escape from the more congested kitesurfing destinations.
