COURSE ORGANISATION AND SAFETY
As well as lessons with an instructor, it is obvious that you need to practice again and again in order to learn and progress in kitesurfing. While ensuring your safety on the beach as well as on the water, we organise our lessons in such a way as to maximise your practice time. At Duotone Pro Center Boa Vista there are no lessons with 4 or more people sharing a kite. Whenever conditions allow, the instructors make sure you have your own kite to practice and train with in a safe and secure environment. They also gave a security boat.
FLEXBILITY
We know that it can be difficult to know what level of kitesurfing course to choose from your home, but there is no need to worry! Whatever package you choose, if your instructor feels that another package would be more suitable, you will be able to change once you are there. You will never have to take part in a course that does not meet your expectations or your level. After each session your instructor will give you a detailed report, as well as advice on how to progress – whatever course you originally booked. Your success and progress is all that matters to us!

Your instructor will be there to support you, coach you, and more importantly, keep you safe through the learning process.
We will provide a range of different DUOTONE KITEBOARDING kites, boards, bars suiting the wind conditions.
Usually, you will do 2 hours/day for the 6 hours course but if there are availability and wind conditions you might be able to squeeze in 2 sessions in a day. Please make sure you contact the center prior your arrival date to check the time of your lesson. Minimum of 24 hours before booking online.

A word about
DUOTONE PRO CENTER BOA VSTA
Praia Carlota is located just a 10-minute walk south of Sal Rei, the capital, along a long, sandy bay. Unlike many other spots, it remains uncrowded. The lagoon features mostly flat water with a light shore break on windier days. The wind direction ranges from side-offshore to offshore, typically blowing between 15 to 25 knots, which is why they provide a rescue boat service for your safety.
This spot offers ideal conditions for kitesurfers of all levels, depending on the swell. Beginners and freestylers will love the smooth water and spacious area for kiting, jumping, and learning new tricks. Wave riders can explore several wave spots nearby and enjoy their own paradise. The deep water also makes it perfect for foiling, allowing you to start right from the shore. For the more advanced, a kite trip to the island of Djeu, located diagonally in front of the school, is a must.
Enjoy the endless summer, as the water temperature never drops below 20 degrees Celsius year-round, and the climate remains mild, dry, and sunny. And that's not all... In the water, you might even encounter turtles.
BEST PERIODS
January, February, March
WIND
The water in the lagoon is mostly flat with a little shore break on the more windy days. The wind blows side offshore and usually ranges from 15 to 25 knots (trade wind) from the northeast with sporadic days of up to 30 knots (rescue boat service available). Unlike other bustling spots, we offer a serene and uncrowded experience.
WAVES
The round shape of the island makes it perfect for finding waves around it anytime. Swell is coming and hitting each spot around the islan differently, from beginner to really advanced waves. It's a great location for learing how to kitesurf in the waves, with the experienced tips of our instructors, who will suggest the best spot according to swell and wind direction every day.
HOW TO GET TO BOA VISTA ?
The best way to reach the island of Boa Vista is by plane (BVC airport). There is also a ferry from Sal (Cape Verde), but schedule and rides are very subject to the ocean swell and forecast.
From Europe
To get to Boa Vista from Europe, you can take a flight from major European cities such as Lisbon, Paris, or London to Amílcar Cabral International Airport in Sal, Cape Verde. From there, you will need to take a connecting flight to Boa Vista. The total journey time is usually around 6 to 8 hours, depending on layovers. Direct flights to Boa Vista are available from some European cities during certain seasons. Make sure to check flight schedules in advance for the best options.
