Overview

Kitesurf

Beautiful kite, windsurf, wing spot located in the north of Fuerteventura island. This spot works well when there's trade wind (the dominant wind in the Canary Islands).

The spot is located in the Corralejo Natural Park where you can find beautiful sand dunes and is just a few minutes drive from the village of Corralejo.

In the north of the island, the trade wind is less strong than in the southern part, but the wind is quite consistent.

In summer, the wind generally blows between 18-25 knots.

Experienced riders under supervision can kite all the way to Lobos Island.
