Learn to surf on Sal, Cape Verde at Santa Maria Beach with expert coaching, wetsuits and boards, plus pop-up practice for $40.

“We were welcomed and escorted to beach where our guide explained we would practice on dry land first and then proceed into the water once the technique had been explained. He explained to my son when his technique wasn't correct and why, and he quickly learnt the technique required. Once in the water my son was taken out to the required depth and the guide stayed with him. My son quickly got the hang of it and soon he was accompanying the locals, thanks to an expert guide.”
