Windsurfing in Fuerteventura

The Canary Islands are probably the most guaranteed wind you could get anywhere in the world.

The trade winds have been used for hundreds of years to navigate ships down the Atlantic. Consistent wind is very rare to find in the world, many places will promise the earth, but we all know no one has control over mother nature.

Fuerteventura translates as “Strong Winds” and is the closest you can get to the conditions of Maui on a cheap charter flight. The north of the island has less wind than the south, but picks up a swell with some great surfing and windsurfing to be had.

There is a very high local standard of windsurfing so you won’t be alone on a mast-and-a-half day, nor will you be short of inspiration when it comes to freestyle.
