FUERTEVENTURA
THE LOWDOWN
The Canary Island archipelago, in which Fuerteventura
sits, is a volcanic formation of islands just off the
northwest coast of Africa, with each island having its
own characteristics. In comparison to some of its more
tourist-loaded neighbors, Fuerte retains a more laid back
and relaxed atmosphere. It’s also blessed with year round
wind, waves and sunshine (approximately 3000 hours a
year) and is a short hop from most European airports. The
predominantly dry and desert landscape can at first seem
harsh, but its charms ring through, and the lush beaches
and beautiful turquoise waters are extremely beguiling
indeed…
KITING SET UP
In the southern part of the island you’ll find the Rene Egli
center, set in a palm-fringed oasis, right in the heart
of Sotavento´s strong-wind zone. The wide beach allows
the wind to blow strong and consistently, offering perfect
conditions for accomplished kiters, while a sheltered
lagoon is ideal for beginners. The center itself has a
full range of facilities, such as fresh water showers and
compressed air to save you needlessly working up a sweat
in the morning…
