Best kiting places in Fuerteventura

As I remember someone once said kitesurifing holidays in Fuerteventura once you have experienced them, will make you want to keep coming back and back to have more fun kitesurfing days in Fuerteventura with ints excellent strong winds providing you the possibility to sail in any direction. The name of the island speaks for itself. In Spanish fuerte means strong, but viento - wind. In practice, there is blowing as well as in Tenerife in El Medano.

Kite spots and locations in Fuerteventura:

1) ProCenter Rene Egli in Sotavento, incidentally is the biggest kite and windsurfing center in Europe. Located on a peninsula Jandia, on its southern coast.

• summer blows every day, no less than 10 m / s, in the afternoon, usually about 15 m / c
• a lot of kites of all sizes - the whole line of Cabrini
• civilization: a shower, a bar, wi-fi, and, of course, hranilka and spasalka
• the best spot for those who are also riding on the wind-surfing

• wind cross-off-shore, respectively, torn
• water is not flat, after 15 hours when the wind increases, the concrete chop and surf wave
• a very uncomfortable place for learning

2) Playa del Viejo Rey in La Pared, 15 minutes by car from the Sotavento, a good alternative when there is blowing too strongly.

Positive

• steady wind, cross-on-shore, as it is the other side
• Do not chop, and the beautiful smooth wave

Negative

• blows much less than in the Sotavento (and sometimes does not blow), the appropriate size kite 12-14 meters
• shore blowing less, it is sometimes difficult to overcome the wave and go for a surf band
• beach becomes very narrow at high tide, but directly above the beach hanging rock
• is not suitable for beginners as well as in the waves at the shore train surfers and teach classes surf school. First and foremost is their training beach, and they take offense if someone stopping them

3) Flag Beach in Corralejo

Positive

• steady wind side-shore, side-on-shore, in the morning may not blow at all, then begins termichka, and somewhere in the 12-13 hours fanning meters to 10
• gorgeous beach with white sand

• at low tide near the shore get out many stones
• spasalka is only in theory, actually a boat from the center does not pull out until not pripret, hoping that somehow get to the shore yourself
• myself Center - shack on the beach, there is no civilization, even fresh water
