In a few words
In Santa Maria Bay, the flat water is ideal for wing foiling.
For beginners, once you have gotten the hang of the wing on the beach, your instructor will guide you to master your balance and direction on the water.
Once you have acquired this first basic knowledge, you will be autonomous in your practice without drifting, and ready to take off and discover the sensations of flight.
For more advanced levels, the spot is perfect for learning or mastering your jibes, tacks and sailing in the waves.
The highlights

You will be staying at the Hotel Da Luz, in the town of Santa Maria, a stone's throw from the beach.
The rooms for 2 to 4 people offer hotel service, including sheets and towels, with a bathroom in the room.
For added comfort you can book a single room or a double room (couple or twin).
You will appreciate the pool area when you return from your activities.
The town of Santa Maria lives to the rhythm of fishing, with tuna and other fish being unloaded every morning. The town's laid-back atmosphere invites you to let time drift by to the rhythm of local music, quite similar to Brazilian rhythms.
