All this will happen with supervision and support of your instructor. In the next step the board is added. In case you enjoy it and want to learn more you should opt for 5 day beginner course or more.

On the additional days you go straight into the water and straight onto the board. We will focus on teaching you to become an independent kitesurfer.

First day starts with an hour recap on the beach, depending on your level of kiting.

Once this has been completed we go straight into the water lesson which is again, dependent on your level, with the instructor by your side until you are capable and safe to be left alone to practice.  Each additional day you practice straight in the water and straight on the board.

Boardwork Course​- is for people that know how to control the kite with one hand easily, how to do a waterstart and are able to ride at least 50 meters.

Course length – 3 hour.

We are also offering 7 Days or flexible day amount KITESURFING CAMPS for Beginners and Intermediate levels. More information to different Packages and inclusions in the price section.

We operate a mobile surf school; this means we drive our surf students to the beach that is offering the best surfing conditions on a given day. As waves in the Canary Islands depend on the swell direction, size, wind and many other factors and since here in Fuerteventura North we have more than 10 different surfing beaches we can always take you to a perfect beginner/intermediate surf spot. What’s more you can choose the course duration that suits your holiday plans.
