The Surf

The surf centre is situated just south of Corralejo on the miles long sandy beach bordered by large sand dunes of Dunas de Corralejo Natural Park. 

SURF

The northern tip of the island around Corralejo, just across from Lanzarote Island, is the main surfing area on the island, with miles sandy beach and reef breaks on both the western and eastern shores. A former fishing village converted into a modern resort, Corralejo has managed to preserve its charm and has a "surfing" atmosphere, with lots of surf shops, bars and restaurants. A popular destination with surfer is a boat day-trip to the small desert island of Isla de Lobos, just off the coast in front of Corralejo - a ferry leaves daily at 10 am and returns at 4 PM. From the jetty on Lobos, it is a long walk over to the spot. Named after its population of sea wolves, the island of Lobos is uninhabited and the wave breaks along the base of an old volcano. 

In general, surf spots are well away from any tourist activity and only frequented by surfers. Waves are long and perfect and most are reef breaks. There are also very long sandy beaches, perfect for beginners.

KITESURF

The wind is predominantly cross-shore and Flag beach is the start of some 6-7 km of white sand, where we have about 3 km for kitesurfing. The best months for kitesurfing are March to November. This is when the sea tends to be flat and the wind consistent. During the winter months the sea is tougher and wavy, and we have different wind directions like onshore, offshore etc and so the only way to guarantee course completion is by using a boat. All course are then taught regardless of wind direction and teaching from a boat gives us the flexibility to move around the island to the most suitable location.

Courses are run on a continual basis with groups of not more than 4 people per instructor on the beach part of the course (day 1 of the beginner course) and 2 per instructor in the water. Most people have very limited experience of kitesurfing so it is recommended to book the beginner and waterwork courses. but we can teach to any level as some of our instructors compete at international level. The Kite School is an IKO recognized centre which means that they teach to a certain standard and also means they can issue the IKO Kiteboarder card.

WINDSURF

The beach offers good cross-shore (from the left) conditions from March/April through to August/September. It is generally wavier for the first couple of months with the remains of the winter swells, however from May onwards the waves disappear and flat slalom conditions prevail.
Although the winter months statistically have less windy days at Flag Beach, there can be better locations within easy reach that have wind for the more advanced sailor.

We offer a wide range of tuition, from beginner up to advanced. Although the beach is really an intermediate - advanced location. But some 20 minutes drive away there is an ideal beginners teaching lagoon. All beginner / renewal / improver courses run in this lagoon, where there is shallow (1m), protected water with a sandy bottom. All courses are run by qualified instructors, Flag Beach being one of the VDWS recognized centers.

Fuerteventura

Canary Islands

Known as the ”Fortunate Islands”, the Canary Islands enjoy a permanent spring like, subtropical climate cooled by the Ocean breeze and the Trade Winds, with warm waters and consistent swell most of the year. Off the coast of Morocco, Spanish territory and outpost of the European Union, the Canary Islands are but a two hour flight from Madrid and the mainland. The "Hawaii of the Atlantic", as the islands are referred to by surfers, this volcanic archipelago is formed by seven islands. Main surf destinations are the two major islands of Tenerife and Gran Canaria, and the less populated islands of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote.

Fuerteventura

Fuerteventura is the second largest island but least populated of the Canarian archipelago. Ninety kilometres off Morocco and the African coast, it also enjoys the best climate of all the islands. The large number of sunny days and minimal rainfalls, as well as the topography of the terrain, has created Europe's only desert. Fuerteventura has the longest beach of the archipelago, formed by fine white sand from the nearby Sahara desert.

The island boasts three natural parks: the Dunas de Corralejo and Isla de Lobos to the north and the Jandia Peninsula to the south. In total, 40% of the island has been declared a national park and its natural state has been almost completely preserved.

Climate

Sub tropical, with warm winters and hot summers. Warm waters all year ! Best waves in winter, when the north and western swells come in.
