What to start with..? The smile and kindness of Amy the co-owner of the kitesurfing school who welcomes you upon your arrival?
Obviously, if you had any doubts at the time, you won't have any more once you meet Amy!
Then it's time for Kitesurfing lessons, and there the happiness continues, the team of instructors is PERFECT!
I had the chance to be supervised by Tchu, everything was excellent, his kindness, his good humor and especially all his advice which made the experience at the top and allowed me at the end of my stay in Santa Maria to practice kitesurfing in total autonomy!
Tchu is certainly the best kitesurfing coach on the island ... Well, I believed that until he got sick one morning and Idouino took over while being just as competent as Tchu! And I am sure that Jardel and Elton (who besides being a very good kitesurfer is a super funny person) are as good a coach as Tchu!
In short, I could still give lots of compliments to this team who will ensure you a top-notch stay in Santa Maria and excellent quality Kitesurfing lessons.
I recommend !!!!
Ps : all instructors are Cape Verdeans and speak well differents languages (French English Spanish and of course...

We stayed with Amy and Jardel at Surf Hub for a week of kitesurf camp, it was so good we scrapped our plans and stayed for a second week!
The accommodation was so clean and in a great spot - everything was walking distance.
The kitesurf coaches are amazing and cover all of the basics and safety skills to confidently get you up on the board and using the kites in no time at all.
We also went on amazing surf trips - they have so many great boards to use and know the best spots to take you to that we would have never found by ourselves.
Amy welcomed us from the moment we booked and went above and beyond to make our holiday special. She immersed us in Cape Verdean culture and taught us so much about the island, the best places to go and put us in touch with others on surf camp who will be friends for life. Experiences we would have never had staying by ourselves or in a hotel.
We cannot thank Amy, Jardel, Tchu, Elton, Iduino and the rest of the team enough! Already looking for...
