Resort Hotels Centres Map Wind

In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, near the coast of Senegal, there is a beautiful group of islands called Cape Verde. Even though it may seem small in the vast ocean, it holds great value, not just for those of us who love water sports. ION CLUB Sal has two centre on Sal, Cape Verde: one on the lovely Santa Maria beach, a quaint fishing village; and the other a 15-minute walk away in Ponta Leme, within the same village.

These locations are strategically chosen and are perfect spots for people to enjoy windsurfing, kitesurfing, wingfoil, and stand-up paddleboarding based on their skill levels, all while spending the entire day on the water.

The ION CLUB center at Santa Maria beach is where kitesurfers gather in the mornings before heading to Kite Beach, just a 5-minute car ride away. Of course, you can also choose to ride right in front of the Santa Maria center. They offer beginner kitesurfing courses here, as well as courses for those new to windsurfing and wingfoiling.

For experienced windsurfers and wingfoilers, the ION CLUB center at Ponta Leme is a great choice. It benefits from ideal wind conditions right in front of it and provides a wide selection of rental equipment from Fanatic and Duotone. The Ponta Leme school also offers courses for advanced wingfoiling and windsurfing levels.

This centre in Santa Maria burnt to the ground just before the 2019. A completely brand-new centre has been establish, however windsurfing rental is not available here.

The beach at this centre is unbelievably varied: in front of the centre the water is a little choppy with some shorebreak. The team is always happy to help you carry your material into and out of the water to ensure that you pass the shorebreak without any problems. If you sail past the jetty on the left hand side of the centre you will enter the Santa Maria speed track where you can blast away to your heart's content, or gybe through the turquoise water. Further out there is a nice swell for wave novices.

Kitesurfing Lessons with a personal instructor gives you the opportunity to have a 2-on-1 interaction with your instructor to help you learn at a pace that is driven by you. The Learn To Kitesurf course aims to get you riding, while also teaching you how to read the conditions and utilise your equipment safely and correctly.


You will start with the basics; this includes setup of your equipment, safety features that you will utilise and how to fly a small 2metre trainer kite. When your instructor feels you are ready you can then head to the water. On day one you will only be using the kite and not go on the board just yet. Entering the water is when the fun starts!

On day one you will be comfortable flying the kite and know what to do in any situation.
