    Absolute highlight!

    Christine_J, Aug 2025
    This was definitely the highlight of my holiday in Sal, Cabo Verde. I took the lessons with my two daugthers (16 and 10 years old). Our surf instructor was Ruben. He is simply AMAZING ,not only as a surfer, but also as an instructor and as a person. I never did surfing before and after a few lessons I managed to take some waves! My gitls also did very well (they had taken some surf lessons before, but improved a lot). He explained everything very well and was very patient. He was also very attentive the whole tine of my 10 year-old, and managing very well the tine dedicated to each of us. In sum, we LOVED it and can only tremendously recommend it to anyone who wants to learn to surf or improve his/her skills!

    Merece la pena, un rato muy divertido. Y aprendimos mas de lo que esperábamos, en una hora ya surfeamos alguna ola. Ruben es un gran profesional. Es un ambiente muy cercano y amigable.
