Supporting Sao Vicente (Cabo Verde) locals
We’d like to make you aware of some news affecting those of you planning a kitesurf holiday in Sao Vicente (Cabo Verde).
As you are probably aware, Sao Vicente has very little tourism and very few kitesurfers on the water so….. the bad news: the only kitesurf center will no longer be run by Kitesurf NOW, however ….. the good news: Kitesurf Cabo Verde will be running the center. Closing Kitesurf NOW (temporarily) Unfortunately, we had to decide to close our company until November 2017. For the first time since our 4.5 year existence, we made a little profit in January 2015, but this highlight was overshadowed by a building contractor causing huge irretrievable losses. We will take the next two-and-a-half years to save enough money so we can further invest in Sao Vicente and will take the time to organize a world-class training of locals. Our ambition is to offer world-class service for kitesurfing, food and drinks and accommodation when we open again in November 2017. Opening Kitesurf Cabo Verde Two of our Salamansa staff, Jair and Gogo have performed well and were extremely loyal to Kitesurf NOW. We want to make sure that they are rewarded for that. We want to optimize their chances of being able to earn enough money while Kitesurf NOW is closed. We have therefore decided to support Jair and Gogo in setting up and running their own kitesurf business. Please help us to help them ! Please do not hesitate to visit Jair and Gogo at Salamansa for a truly authentic , uncrowded, kitesurf experience. We will donate all our equipment to them and will make sure they can use our building for free. We will also make sure that the building will be updated by November 2015, creating more wind-sheltered space and toilet facilities. We will also make sure to support Jair and Gogo with administration, marketing and customer service. This way, they can focus on helping you in Salamansa with kitesurfing, food and drinks. Al you need to do to help Jair and Gogo is to show up in paradise and pay extremely reasonable prices for their services! 100% Of what you spend at Salmansa will go to Jair and Gogo (and the Salamansa locals). Their company will be called: Kitesurf Cabo Verde. We hope that these changes will not affect your holiday plans too much. Ola and myself will promise to do our best to help you to navigate the challenges of finding flights and accommodation and will help Jair and Gogo to provide an adequate level of service to you. |

Hi Ola,
I'm unhappy to hear you have to close your business. What a pitty! I enjoyed my stay two years ago (hope you remember me) and hope you can continue as planned in 2017! All the best wishes to you and Marc! Walter |
