Dreamlike wingfoiling on the Cape Verde Islands
Wow, this video clip with wingfoil action from the Cape Verde Islands definitely awakens wanderlust.

Cape Verde is an absolute dream spot for wingsurfers. In the winter months, there is a constant trade wind here and the archipelago is regularly bombarded with swells from the North Atlantic. If you know your way around Sal or the neighbouring island of Boavista, you can find countless spots with empty lineups and dream conditions - as this short clip by and with wingsurfer Guy Bridge proves.
