Surfing is the coolest water sport of all with an absolute addiction effect!
Welcome to the exciting world of surfing, where the ocean and its waves send us into a daze of pure happiness, joy, and inner peace. There are few things in this world as addictive as surfing. Those of us who have been riding the waves for many years understand this irresistible attraction all too well.
Are you ready to join us on a journey in the middle of the majestic Atlantic Ocean? The best waves in the world await you here on Boavista. Even world-class surfers like Hawaiian Jamie O’Brien come here regularly. This is no coincidence, as Cape Verde is a true paradise for surfers.
At Planet Allsports Boavista we offer surfing lessons for all levels, from beginners to experienced surfers. Our “house wave” right in front of our center is the ideal place to learn to surf quickly, easily and safely. Here you can feel the pure magic of surfing as you glide over the gentle waves.
And for the more adventurous among you, we have the “Liowa wave”, named after the Portuguese word for lion. Further out, with a good swell, it offers you the opportunity to perform spectacular turns in head-high waves. But don’t worry, thanks to the deeper sandbank, it doesn’t break too violently, so you can feel safe and free.
We look forward to getting out on the water with you and experiencing the unforgettable adventure of surfing the best waves of your life, which will unforgettably touch your heart and soul.

In the beginning, if you’re not used to it, paddling with your arms is a bit energy-sapping, and diving with the board through the waves is certainly unfamiliar but you will quickly be rewarded as soon as you’re able to hold on to the surfboard for the first few meters and surf with the wave.en Schub nach vorne bekommst.
