About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- shaneq9080 contributionsThe best foiling experience!AMAZING! 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.Written 14 December 2024
- 214katarinag0 contributionsNever again!Not recommendable at all!!! I booked the yoga camp as described on the homepage. But the reality, when I arrived was the opposite. (the room was horrible, dirty, no windows to open properly) After I was asking for another room, they said it is overbooked and I can maybe change in a few days. If I have a problem with that, Amy said, I can leave and look for something else!! She even tried to make me responsible for that because I booked this, what is not true. I booked the described package on the homepage!!! For me this is an unacceptable and unprofessional behavior!!!! In the end I found something better and cheaper. So my summary they just want to steal your money and don’t really care about the people. On the island there are much better opportunities - organize everything by yourself! There are amazing yoga teachers you can contact directly.Written 16 November 2024
- ayalis0 contributionsWithout a doubt, the best surf school on Sal!Amy and all the surf instructors are extremely professional, kind, and well organised. The service is absolutely top-notch. The equipment and different options for surfboards and rentals are of great quality and variety, so you will be sure to find something suitable for your level. It was a pleasure joining in for a surf session; I cannot recommend Surf Hub enough. Best, Aya.Written 19 February 2024
- Mikael V0 contributionsSuper experience with familyFirst time try surfing for family of 5, had a great time with very helpful instructors assisting and teaching us. Went back for 2nd go as well! Definately worth the time and moneyWritten 20 January 2024
- MHTR20180 contributionsKite or Wing, choose something fun!Anyone traveling to Sal and wish for something new should treat themselves to a few private lessons on a board, companized by the great team from Surf Hub. A central located station, easy to reach via WhatsApp and personalised learning tailored to your existing skills are quality features of a sports school that can only exist if experience in management and a lot of fun at work are part of it. The commitment to local junior coaches is exemplary! The spots are fantastic, sore muscles from the permanent grin guaranteed. Thank you for the wonderful moments. Fully recommendation!Written 8 January 2024
- markdJ9457UO0 contributionsGreat kiting experienxeGreat 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!Written 4 January 2024
- GrandTour6222270 contributionsPaddleboard trip and lessonJust had a paddleboard lesson with Jersy, an instructor from Surf Hub Cabo Verde. I’ve paddled before but this was my first time paddling on the sea. It was a fantastic experience. Much trickier than paddling on inland sheltered water. Loads of positive learning and great fun. Jersy, was a great instructor. He put safety at the heart of the lesson and provided calm clear communication and advice through my time with him. Surf Hub Cabo Verde is a great outfit and Amy was super helpful when working out a suitable time to book. I’ve not tried their other activities but would be confident of getting a great experience. Surf Hub Cabo Verde is to be recommended and is a great choice for water sport activities in Sal. Thank you. I will be back.Written 22 October 2023
- diogomX2940BU0 contributionsHad the time of my lifeA big Thank You to all the Surf Hub family: Amy, Jardel, Ruben and Elton, who toured me around Ilha do Sal looking for the best waves/spots, and always ensured that I took the most advantage during my time in the island. Everyday it felt like a new adventure, besides surfing some memorable spots, I got to see the Salinas, the Shark Bay and go sailing and snorkeling in the ocean with some very cool people. Ruben gets a special shout out for sharing his waves and knowledge, he is a true original soul surfer. I hope to see you guys soon.Written 11 October 2023
- dominikbW5851KL0 contributionsGreat experience!Surf lessons with Surfhub had been great! I had lessons with Ruben and Thu and guys were with me in water all the time, they were patient and helpful and gave me many good tips and tricks. I enjoyed surfing time very well. I can only recommend SurfHub! Thank you so much!Written 29 August 2023
- roberthB3882UH0 contributionsStunning locations, local experts, go surfing!Thanks for a great morning guys, stunning place to surf, and felt totally safe and supported by the instructor. We're used to UK beach breaks so being out on a reef gave an added sense of adventure. Great for first time timers, beginners and intermediate levels. Go surfing!Written 4 August 2023
- Departure398686595720 contributionsAmazing first surf lessonThis was our first time surfing and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The instructor explained everything very well and made us feel safe in the water. He gave us good tips and helped us catch waves. The whole staff was very friendly and nice. Will definitely come back! The photographer took great pictures as well.Written 6 July 2023
- emma_perryman0 contributionsExcellent surf lessonSurf Hub Cabo Verde is excellent. My daughter had some surf lessons and she loved it and made excellent progress. I highly recommend this place for all levels of surf lessonsWritten 16 April 2023
- edwardhR3909GN0 contributionsAmazing surf experience!3 great surf lessons with Ruben. Including a trip to the north of the island, to find the best surf, everyone was very friendly and online communication with the surf school was brilliant.Written 9 April 2023
- JamesMillett0 contributionsGreat Family surf lessonFun kids surf lesson with Reuben on the beach opposite the shop. Only 4 euros in a taxi from most of the hotels and a lovely, fun activity. WhatsApp Amy to get things organised! Was great to see a 12 year old surf her first wave after just 30 minutes. If you’re in Cape Verde this is recommended 👏👏👏Written 9 April 2023
- paulbK2118JS0 contributionsNo-go place. Bad price, bad equipment, bad service, bad managementBad price, Bad service, bad management, borderline surf boards. Its my 4th year in Santa Maria and definitely this is the no-go place to rent equipment. First, the equipment for surfing is not good, just borderline; for much lower price, the rental on the beach has similar or better equipment and they are nicer and more flexible. And if you want high performance boards, go to Ponta Prenta, at Ines Correia they have it and still for similar price. Second, they don’t tell you the full story; if you want to return equipment earlier because you were not satisfied, they invent things like they charge you for the wetsuit which was supposed to be no-charge as everywhere, in order to keep money. In all the places, you take equipment one day, you return when you are done and pay for the time spent. Here, they try to make you pay for a Full Day even if you spent just 2h. Thirdly, the owner (Amy) does not permit the local staff guys at the shop do anything, for absolutely anything she has to be present or they have to call her. Result: for any simple arrangement, it takes 5 calls to Amy, 30-mins wasted; even to return you 5€ Amy does not allow the local guys at the shop to do it (as if they were dumb or something) and you have to wait there for somebody to come.Nonesense.Written 6 April 2023

Surf Cabo Verde 100% made our holiday. Amy is absolutely fantastic and went above and beyond to ensure we could pack as much watersports fun as possible into our holiday. Tuition is exceptional and we enjoyed both kitesurf lessons, windsurf tuition and surf board hire. Their mix of UK and Cape Verde expertise is invaluable. Elton was a brilliant kitesurf instructor and we cannot recommend this company highly enough. Book with confidence - you will not regret it!

I couldn't be happier with my stay in Sal.
I booked a week kite surf camp and got exactly what was promised. The accommodation was top, the yoga was relaxing and especially the kite lessons were great! I was able to learn very very much & the instructors were super attuned to me.
But the best part of my stay were the people I met. Especially as a solo traveler it is sometimes difficult to find connections. Not so in the Surf Hub, you go out to eat together, make BBQ and much more. So it is pretty easy to meet new people. But most of all I would like to compliment the owner. Amy is really great! She organizes everything, is always happy and has the right solution for every situation.
I would come again immediately & can only recommend it here.
Thank you so much!
