Fuerteventura is part of the Canary Islands, the second largest island after Tenerife. All year round, the climate is temperate, favorable to the Wing.
What are the best spots for winging?
We were basically in Corralejo, the spot is really perfect and not too complicated to do everything.
There is also the Matas Blancas spot. Located north of Costa Calma, Matas Blancas. The wind is offshore, the water is mega flat!
We also liked the Sotavento spot. South of Costa Calma is a huge beach with a lagoon depending on the tide.
We also sailed to Flag beach, Located in the northeast of Fuerteventura, 2 minutes from downtown Corralejo, Flag Beach is the main kitesurfing spot on the north shore.
Can you explain your sets up to us?
We were both with the Glide 5'0. It is perfectly optimized to take off easily in flight, and thanks to its triple concave the take off is fast and efficient.
In foil we were on the S800 and S1000. They offer super incisive carving while remaining manageable.
In wing we had the Wing V2 in 4m and 5m. It is compact and super efficient. Whatever the conditions of the day, it remains super comfortable.
What to do when there is no wind in Fuerteventura?
What is good in Fuerteventura is that there are almost always waves. So during the windless days, we surf foiled.
Have you discovered any nice restaurants or bars for dinner and/or a drink after a day in the water?
I would say the Citrus Surf Café, just off the main street in Corralejo, around the corner from the "corner rock bar". It's the best place to relax after a session. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes with many options for vegetarians or for meat lovers. After that there are plenty of other great options with a very good atmosphere.
Do you have any tips for accommodation on the island?
Fuerte is full of super nice surfer camps, not too expensive and close to the spots, it's great! We don't necessarily have tips but we know that there is always a good atmosphere in these camps. Afterwards, there are also plenty of very beautiful hotels for more comfort.
What is the best time of year to come?
To have big conditions you should rather come between December and May, but overall there are always good conditions throughout the year. To begin, on the other hand, it is preferable to come in summer when the waves are smaller and less powerful.
