A nation on a volcanic archipelago known for its 10-island constitution and sunny climate year round. Cape Verde is the idyllic place to look up and visit on your next holidays if you are looking to skip the cold weather during the winter months.

Because of its consistent winds and conditions for every skill level, Cape Verde should be included in your bucket list and kiting destinations. Depending on your current level, make sure to visit Boa Vista with its flat water conditions to help you improve your skills or get you riding for the first time! If you are in a more experienced level, spots like Ponta Preta will make you wanna whip out your surfboard and ride the great wave! On the on-land side of your trip, you can find an array of activities for non-kite partners that might wish to come along, or for you to satisfy your inner explorer during this amazing trip. You can choose from visiting small fishing towns, hiking through scenic mountains, or just kicking back on the beach as you soak up the beauty of Cape Verde.

This great country is without a doubt a great escape for your next holiday, so what are you waiting for?
