5.00This was definitely the highlight of my holiday in Sal, Cabo Verde. I took the lessons with my two daugthers (16 and 10 years old). Our surf instructor was Ruben. He is simply AMAZING ,not only as a surfer, but also as an instructor and as a person. I never did surfing before and after a few lessons I managed to take some waves! My gitls also did very well (they had taken some surf lessons before, but improved a lot). He explained everything very well and was very patient. He was also very attentive the whole tine of my 10 year-old, and managing very well the tine dedicated to each of us. In sum, we LOVED it and can only tremendously recommend it to anyone who wants to learn to surf or improve his/her skills!
Absolute top experience; highlight of our holiday!

5.00I had an amazing experience at the Surf Hub in Santa Maria, Cape Verde! The owner, Amy, is incredibly dedicated and welcoming, which sets the tone for the entire school. Special thanks to the instructor Ruben – he’s not only a skilled surfer but also a patient and effective teacher. His passion for surfing is truly contagious, making every lesson both fun and rewarding. If you're looking to learn how to surf or improve your skills, this is the perfect place. The surf school also offers a wonderful sense of community and the opportunity to enjoy the stunning waters of Santa Maria. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience!!!

5.00First surf initiation class for my daughters. Within an hour they managed to stand up and even surf some waves, they could not believe it! The class was group (5 people) and instructor Ruben very friendly and patient, watching each one at all times. Amy's treatment was great, very professional and resolute, she contacted me by wasap to find the best time for class (at high tide) Recommended 100%. Best trip to Cape Verde.
The best foiling experience!

5.00AMAZING! From first contact with Amy, everything was smooth and professional. She arranged everything from airport transfers, to accommodation, to daily lessons and recommendations for the best places to eat. The best experience I could have hoped for. The treat of instructors are incredible. Knowledgeable, patient and able to convey the lessons so they are easily understood. I highly recommend Surf Hub Cape Verde in absolutely every respect.

5.00I had an unforgettable time on the island of Sal and can 100% recommend the Surf Hub Capo Verde. Amy and the boys are doing a great job! I received a very warm welcome and felt comfortable and safe at all times. Dany and Jessy are very experienced and committed instructors, have a lot of patience and are always in a good mood. I was able to learn a lot about surfing and it is very suitable for beginners. All in all, a wonderful time. A huge compliment to the entire team, you made my stay special. I'll be back!
Without a doubt, the best surf school on Sal!

5.00Great experience. As reasonable kitesurfer I took on day one of my stay a private lesson on kite beach. Was very good to get familiar with the spot and to get training by Elton on my jumps. Remainder of my stay I rented equipment. Good material and variety of kites available. Thanks!
