In 2007 Sal surfers Daniel Obradovic and Joazinho formed Revolusal, a youth movement based in Santa Maria which combines surfing with education and teaches respect of the environment and to each other. The organisation provides stability to many youths as well as encouraging them to attend school, whilst providing a focus through the positive medium of creation that is surfing. Sal, which is widely regarded as one of the finest water sport arenas in the world, has already produced a world champion kitesurfer, Mitu Monteiro, and by providing contests and a surf “scene” RevoluSal is nurturing some superb young talents in the surfing world.

Since it’s formation, RevoluSal has organised:
Beach & coastal cleanups: removing rubbish from several sites of outstanding natural beauty around Sal
Surf Events & Training: bringing surfers together from all of the islands to compete at some of the best surf spots in the world
Social events: getting kids off the streets and working together in social programs

Get involved
RevoluSal is run and funded by volunteers and is recruiting surfers and Life members .Whether you are a surfer of many years or if you simply want to be involved in something positive here in Sal, a small donation or to simply join in a Clean-Up session makes all the difference. The clean ups are a lot of fun and are a great way of meeting and interacting with the young surf community – remember the beaches are there for everyone to enjoy.
