Boavista

The Planet Surfpool Boa Vista is really an all-round destination, cause it has perfect flat water, and an easy start into the the two wavespots. On top an island with perfect conditions to relax, endless sandy beaches and kind fishermen whose lobster is incredible. Since 2008 you can fly directly from Europe to Boavista for example with TUIFly from Germany (Frankfurt, Hannover, Düsseldorf, Munich, Köln-Bonn, Stuttgart).
The flat water is colored turquoise and the northeast passat is blowing constantly especially in the winter and springtime. The bay has three different spots, which are reachable quickly and directly from the Planet Surfpool Station lead by Martina Sarapatkova (she lead already our center in El Naaba/Egypt and was working in Dahab/Egypt as well). The first spot (Stino/Freeride Area) offers perfect flat-water conditions and a huge standing area. In Funana, the second one, there are some waves depending to the swell reaching 2-4 meters high for riding and jumping. The third spot (Turtle Bay) offers two different conditions depending to the swell: with swell you will find an endless wave of about 2 meters high along the whole bay and without a flat speed area parallel to the shore.
