A word about
DUOTONE PRO CENTER BOA VISA
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.

HOW TO GET TO BOA VISTA ?

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.
