Some people look at the stunning North African coastline of Fuerteventura and want to do nothing but laze on the endless miles of beautiful sandy beaches for a week and enjoy the year round sunshine and cool breezes. But for those of a more adrenalin-fuelled nature Fuerteventura holidays are all about full throttle action and between July and August, when the The PWA World Tour visits Fuerteventura’s Sotavento beaches for its annual Grand Slam, the island becomes a mecca for fans of kitesurfing. This free to watch world class event is one of the few where you can see men and women competing against each other as they take to windy waters that have long made the island a favourite of watersports fans. The summer trade winds average from 10 to 25 knots, making the ocean here the perfect spot for this event. The competition offers up two visual options, you can line up to watch the competitors deal with the slalom challenge, or wait for the more imaginative freestyle round, where competitors fool around performing tricks on their boards in the water.

If watching the professionals taming the sea inspires you to get out on the water then there are plenty of opportunities, with many holiday deals offering visitors to the island the chance to spend some time learning to kite surf or sail. The best kite surfing locations on Fuerteventura can be found in Corralejo to the north, El Cotillo on the west coast, Caleta de Fuste and Playa de Sotavento and Playa de Esquinzo. Kitesurfing in the North of Fuerteventura is suitable for all levels, and there are a few kite surfing schools to choose from. We recommend one of the popular two or four day courses to give you an idea if you are going to enjoy taming the tides. Kite at Fuerteventura are a popular and respected outfit that will take you through all the basics and get you up and out on the water throwing shapes and waving at the wind before you know it.
