Windsurfing, Surfing, Spearfishing, consistent swells, friendly locals – that and much more is Cabo Verde, or as Naish team rider Julien Taboulet calls it “a real dream”. He has been spending the last couple of weeks on Sal with his family to indulge in everything Cabo Verde has to offer and they scored. He says: “You live with the ocean here. You wake up in the morning, check the conditions and just go ride where it’s good . . . !”

But as it is everywhere – all good things must come to an end. It is now time for the Wesh family to head back home as Julien is part of the Red Bull Storm Chase and there are a few big storms brewing close to Europe so he needs to be on standy-by for his call.
