best wind in the summer months. Gran Canaria is ideal
for beginners and kids, Tenerife offers advanced slalom
conditions and Lanzarote is ideal for mixed abilities and
conditions. Fuerteventura has one of the best flat water
lagoons ideal for beginners and is host to PWA Windsurf

Islands and now Portugal with surfing, SUP, bike and
yoga. From April to end of September, you can choose
from self-catering studios, all inclusive, luxury boutique

AFRICA + INDIAN
OCEAN
For winter sailing from
November to April, Sal
and Boa Vista in the
Cape Verdes and
Langebaan in
South Africa
offer spots with
flat water and waves. In
the summer, Essaouira in Morocco
is ideal for learn to wave sail and Dakhla
offers flat water lagoon and luxury eco camps; both
offer surfing and SUP coaching. For the widest range of
conditions in one spot choose Le Morne in Mauritius or
less crowded, Anse Le Raie with best wind conditions
from May to November.
CARIBBEAN + S AMERICA
RED SEA
The Red Sea offers great value with 1 week from £599
All inclusive including direct flights to amazing flat,
warm water conditions. Sportif recommend established
favourites such as Hurghada, Marsa Alam, Safaga and
Soma Bay with hotel resorts, shallow sailing and on site
centres. El Gouna offers easy to access local bars and
restaurant set around a marina. Plus there’s golf,
kitesurfing, SUP, scuba diving and cultural excursions.
Two of Sportif favourite spots in the Caribbean are
Tobago and Bonaire. Each has a very different character
with Tobago a relaxed island with pristine rainforest and
Bonaire flat, with Dutch heritage. Both offer superb flat
water, turquoise lagoon sailing from November to July.
Brazil is Sportif’s top pick for wave sailing with 15-25
knots morning wind and over 35+ of almost guaranteed
wind from September to December in Jericoacoara. See
the Sportif website for videos, pictures and clinic dates.
