  • For the first time, Mitu Monteiro, a Cape Verdean kitesurfing pro and former world champion, attempts to cross the 12 volcanic islands of his native archipelago completely solo. Taking on more than 730 km of kitesurfing, interspersed with island traverses totaling approximately 200 km, Mitu’s challenges are stacked ahead of him. But for this nature-lover, there is also the potential to meet unknown marine life and discover new landscapes in a region with many faces, internationally recognized for its biodiversity.
    With a total trajectory of nearly 900 km in total and a route that had to be thought and rethought due to wind direction, shark infested waters, and distances that push this athlete to his limit, Monteiro's skills will be put to the ultimate test

    I had a clinic with Mitu in Sal and learnt a lot- hes very good at teaching and treated us all amateurs like equal riders so humble and dedicated like if it was the first day in the water. I now understand his renewed enthusiasm comes from chasing new CHALLENGES. Kitesurfers often get bored and stall / literally. So these challenges and clinics boost your sport. Thank you Mitu for the inspiration!

    I spent many Winter in Sal windsurfing before and then kitesurfing with Mitu, Airton, Matchu, Titik Libero, Zilla, Klaus, and Reinher. Sweet memories.
    One of my dreams was kitesurfing in every single Capeverdian Island.
    Thank You Mitu. You made my dream true.

    Amazing feat . Amazing courage .
    When you are alone challenging nature you know that it can end your life in the blink of an eye .
    And the physical challenge of kite surfing that far while fatigue is overwhelming is just crazy .
    For now , you are the best but beware , for you have lit the flame of interest and many will try to beat your record .
    You're a hero and a man of confidence . You have lived a life's dream !
