The Magic of Madeira
An article in Endless Vacation Magazine by Christine Ajudua
Recently we came on an article in the Endless Vacation Magazine made by Christine Ajudua. It’s an honor to be a part of it even more when the title is “The Magic of Madeira”.
“Not far away is Porto da Cruz, a tiny cobblestoned village whose black-sand Praia da Lagoa is known for its surf breaks. You can learn how to hang ten with Salty (Rua da Praia; 011-351-967-107-792; lessons, from $53), a just-launched water-sports school from seven-time Madeira surfing champion Belmiro Mendes; he’s even taught his pet dogs to ride the waves. And if it’s not too windy, consider a walk along the barren basalt cliffs to Ponta de São Lourenço, Madeira’s dramatic easternmost tip, a nature reserve where you can see rare monk seals and take in clear views of Porto Santo, Madeira’s little sister, to the northeast.” – Christine Ajudua in Endless Vacation Magazine.

Stand up Paddle tour in Madeira Island – Testimonial
Stand up Paddle Tours in Madeira Islands – Testimonial
We feel happy to share with you a testimonial from our “clients” now our friends Peter an Simone about their experience during a stand up paddle tour in the bay of the Câmara de Lobos in Madeira Island.
Join our SUP classes in our Stand Up Paddle School by Salty – Madeira Water Activities.
“In the Realm of the Senses
First! Think about your Job, Stress, Emails, rainy and cold weather and what ever you do at home.
And then…., can you remember your last trip to Madeira, when the airplane arrives Funchal Airport, through the doors reaches you warm and tropical air, 27 degrees, the darkblue ocean is in front of you, the sun burns down. Can you remember this time??? Can you feel now this Paradies?
We can, our last trip was in September this year, one of now over 10 stays at this wonderful island. This year we had the wish to spend more time at the water, first time on a board, on a SuP Board. Hey and everybody of our friends says us before: “You are to old, you are freaky, you are crazy, in your age is SuP not the sport which you should prefere”.
But my wife and I has our own idea for that. Claudia, the owner of Lobosonda gave us the contact of Belmiro from Salty.
2 days later: What a day! We met a couple with a lot of inspired ideas, we spent an amazing time on the boards. Remember: you are on the board, sunny weather, small waves outside and two teachers with a burning fire in their eyes.
Belmiro and Sara have such a lot of passion in their job, so we think this was the best idea which we had in our holidays.
Go out surfing, go out with the SuP Board, dive with the fishes or go out with a Bodyboard, but do it with Salty, do it with Belmiro Mendes and Sara Abreu.
Have fun after the tour and drink Poncha, Fishermen Poncha, not the Tourist Poncha with Honey! It must be the pure one!
And I’m sure, when we back next year, we will spend once more a lot of time with Salty.

Let’s get Salty! 😉 Madeira Bodyboard Lesson
“So far we’ve had an amazing time on Madeira island. Beautiful weather, good food, nice people, great whale watching tour.. only the really fun experience was missing. Good thing we heard about Salty. We didn’t need much time to think about it.. it was time to get Salty!
Early in the morning we got up, the sun only starting to rise and we were already on the road to Porto Cruz, where good waves were to be expected. We got there and after a quick coffee went to check out the beach. Nice little beach and already some people hoping into the waves. Shortly after, Belmiro arrived and welcomed us warmly. He checked the waves and decided to take us to another spot with better waves. He sure knows his business. Only a short drive away is Machico, where a large beach with nice waves was waiting for us.
