The Ponta Preta wave on Cape Verde’s Sal island is a world-renowned right-hand break. Atlantic swells that wrap around the rocky point are often accompanied by cross-offshore breezes. The wind pushing against the wave faces makes them sit up and become steep and hollow. For the wingfoilers this offers big rewards and big challenges. For those who put a foot wrong, the rocks in shallows on the point await.
