E-FOILING

Are you ready to experience the water in a new and adventurous way? With e-foiling, you can float over the water with the ease of surfing and the speed of sailing. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced surfer, flying has never been so easy!

An E-Foil is an electrically powered hydrofoil surfboard that combines the latest technology with the classic surfing experience. The hydrofoil wing under water generates lift when accelerating, lifting the board out of the water, reducing drag and creating a feeling of floating. Thanks to the battery-powered motor, the E-Foil can be used independently of wind and waves. It combines speed, control and agility and offers a new and environmentally friendly way to enjoy water sports.

For a fee (prices on request at the centre):

• Introductory courses including equipment hire

Courses and services:

• 60-minute introductory course: In this intensive 60-minute course, you will be introduced to e-foiling step by step. After a short briefing on land, you will go directly to the water, where you will try out your first flying manoeuvres, first lying down and then standing up.
• 30-minute introductory course: In a shorter introduction, you will learn the basic techniques and experience the unique feeling of floating on the water.

Surrounded by palm trees and with a breathtaking view of the Atlantic, the "Viveiro Golf & Country Club" offers everything a golfer's heart desires. The 18-hole, par-35 golf course, around 8 minutes by car from the ROBINSON CABO VERDE, stretches over 2,800 metres.

By the way: with sustainable irrigation using purified waste water and home-grown green plants, the golf course is particularly environmentally friendly in the golfing world.
