Driven by the wind: their best windsurfing spots in the Atlantic


After 8 months of travel aboard Maloya, their 12.71 m sailing boat Océanis 411, Aurélien and Sarah give us their best windsurfing spots. Setting out to discover the best windsurfing spots around the world in May 2017, the crew criss-crossed the Atlantic in search of the best beaches for windsurfing. Here is their selection, to discover in video.

In May 2017, Sarah, Aurélien and their little Nael (just 4 months old) left their home port of Etel and headed for the world's oceans and their many gliding spots. After a first campaign in the Atlantic, they deliver us their favourite spots for windsurfing. On the program of this best-of video, sessions in Portugal, the Canaries (Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria), but also in Morocco and Cape Verde!

Pozo Izquierdo, Gran Canaria

A good memory for Aurélien, who did his best slaloms there in competition. The spot has not changed, with wind and small waves.

Sal, Cape Verde

Don't forget that the difficulty of discovering the spots by boat is that you have to be able to find a vehicle to transport your equipment .

Boa Vista, Cape Verde

A spot with very beautiful waves, clear water and sun, a place at the top!
