The spot

Fuerteventura is one of the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa. It is the second largest of the islands. Fuerteventura is a paradise for sun, beach and water sports enthusiasts.

The stable climate makes Fuerteventura the ideal place for all kinds of surfing, a fact recognized by both professional wind surfers and wave surfers, who have settled on the island.

There are no fewer than 152 beaches along its coastline - 50 kilometers of fine, white sand and 25 kilometers of black volcanic shingle. The economy of Fuerteventura is mainly based on tourism. Primary tourist areas are located around the existing towns of Corralejo in the north and Morro Jable in Jandia. The town and resort of Corralejo is located on the northern tip of Fuerteventura.

The beaches in Corralejo are the resort's major attraction. The area has 11 kilometers of fine sand starting 3.2 kilometers outside of Corralejo, along with some smaller bays along the coast. In addition, there are several miles of sand dunes located nearby. Flag Beach is a long (6-7 km beach, 3km kite surf zone) sandy beach with reefs at both ends that go out to sea about fifty meters. The kite surf spot is upwind from the wind surf spot, which is in front of the old location of the Flag Beach centre.
