WingFOIL Lessons BOA VISTA CENTER
At Duotone Pro Center Boa Vista they offer several types of wingfoiling lessons, and it is possible to learn wingfoiling whether you are a beginner in board sports or an experienced windsurfer, kitesurfer or surfer. Courses for beginners are very similar to those for beginner windsurfers. The wingfoiling students start on a large board holding a wing in their hands, rather than a boom and sail. After that the learning objectives for beginners are the same as for windsurfers, and after just a few hours you will be able to ride on your own. For the more experienced they offer courses with more challenging objectives. Semi private lessons (1 equipment/ 1 instructor/ 2 students) only available on request and if you are 2 persons to book.

A word about
DUOTONE PRO CENTER BOA VISTA
Praia Carlota is located just a 10-minute walk south of Sal Rei, the capital, along a long, sandy bay. Unlike many other spots, it remains uncrowded. The lagoon features mostly flat water with a light shore break on windier days. The wind direction ranges from side-offshore to offshore, typically blowing between 15 to 25 knots, which is why they provide a rescue boat service for your safety.
This spot offers ideal conditions for kitesurfers of all levels, depending on the swell. Beginners and freestylers will love the smooth water and spacious area for kiting, jumping, and learning new tricks. Wave riders can explore several wave spots nearby and enjoy their own paradise. The deep water also makes it perfect for foiling, allowing you to start right from the shore. For the more advanced, a kite trip to the island of Djeu, located diagonally in front of the school, is a must.
Enjoy the endless summer, as the water temperature never drops below 20 degrees Celsius year-round, and the climate remains mild, dry, and sunny. And that's not all... In the water, you might even encounter turtles.
BEST PERIODS
January, February, March
WIND
The water in the lagoon is mostly flat with a little shore break on the more windy days. The wind blows side offshore and usually ranges from 15 to 25 knots (trade wind) from the northeast with sporadic days of up to 30 knots (rescue boat service available). Unlike other bustling spots, we offer a serene and uncrowded experience.
WAVES
The round shape of the island makes it perfect for finding waves around it anytime. Swell is coming and hitting each spot around the islan differently, from beginner to really advanced waves. It's a great location for learing how to kitesurf in the waves, with the experienced tips of our instructors, who will suggest the best spot according to swell and wind direction every day.
HOW TO GET TO BOA VISTA ?
The best way to reach the island of Boa Vista is by plane (BVC airport). There is also a ferry from Sal (Cape Verde), but schedule and rides are very subject to the ocean swell and forecast.
From Europe
To get to Boa Vista from Europe, you can take a flight from major European cities such as Lisbon, Paris, or London to Amílcar Cabral International Airport in Sal, Cape Verde. From there, you will need to take a connecting flight to Boa Vista. The total journey time is usually around 6 to 8 hours, depending on layovers. Direct flights to Boa Vista are available from some European cities during certain seasons. Make sure to check flight schedules in advance for the best options.
