Reliable wind and flat lagoons make this one of the best places in Europe to learn โ from your first flight above the water to your first turns.
Every course is small-group, all gear included, and built around real progress โ not just time on the water.
Land theory and safety briefing โ getting to know the wing, rigging, and handling it on the beach before you're anywhere near the board.
First rides โ water start basics, steering the wing, staying balanced in flat, shallow water.
Building consistency โ longer runs, better board balance, reducing drag so you can hold a line.
Turning around โ basic direction changes, adjusting your wing position as you turn.
Putting it together โ linking runs, working toward your first independent sessions.
Refining the basics โ wing handling and board control across a range of conditions, tightening up what you already know.
First flight โ pumping technique and finding the lift to get up on the foil.
Staying up โ balance and control once you're foiling, extending your time above the water.
Upwind riding โ board angle and body position for efficient upwind technique.
Turns and transitions โ first jibes and toe-side riding.
The program will be adapted to your actual skills and needs โ we'll estimate your level on the first day and teach you from there.
No โ the Beginner course starts from zero. We start on the beach getting comfortable with the wing before you're anywhere near the board, then move into flat, shallow water.
It has its own learning curve โ handling the wing and finding your balance on the foil takes focused coaching, which is exactly what the small-group format is built for. Most riders get their first real flight within the first few days.
Just swimwear, a towel, and sun protection. Wing, board, foil, wetsuit and boots are all included in every course.
North Fuerteventura has reliable wind most of the year, but if conditions genuinely don't allow a class, we reschedule your session โ no charge.
We deliberately cap group size โ up to 6 people per instructor, and never more than two sessions running per day, so you get real attention, not just supervision. We mostly do 3-4 students per instructor.
Yes โ talk to your instructor. Mixing both, or extending into the Windsurf Camp, is common and easy to arrange on-site, subject to availability.
