Questions
Kitesurfing FAQ
When is the best time to kitesurf in Fuerteventura?
The wind is most reliable from March to September. At Flag Beach it reaches 14 knots or more on more than half of the days from March to August, and on about 70% of days in July. From October to February there are more light days, but you can still kite. The water stays between 18 and 22°C all year.
How long are kitesurfing lessons?
Day one is a 1-hour theory lesson and a 3-hour lesson on the beach. From day two the lessons are in the open water from our boats. A 4-day beginner course, as in our camps, is about 13 hours of teaching. The one-day course has no water time, so book at least two days.
Can I learn to kitesurf with no experience?
Yes. The beginner course starts from zero, with theory and kite control on the beach. In the water you share an IKO certified instructor with one other student, and a boat stays close by. You need to be able to swim. How quickly you ride depends on the wind and on you, so plan for several days.
How much does a kitesurf course in Fuerteventura cost?
A one-day beginner course costs €175, and longer courses cost less per day. The VDWS licence is €20 extra on courses. A 7-night kite camp with accommodation, a 4-day course, the VDWS licence and airport transfers starts at €735 per person in a shared room. Private lessons cost €75 an hour.
Where do the kitesurfing lessons take place?
We start from the beaches of Corralejo and choose the spot each day from 10+ options in the north, depending on the wind direction and strength. Water lessons take place from our boats in open water, away from rocks and swimmers. If the wind direction is wrong for one beach, we move to another.
I’ve never done this. Is that a problem?
Not at all. The beginner courses start from zero, on the beach, with a theory lesson before you go near the water. You do need to be able to swim.
How does booking work?
You book and pay for courses, lessons and rentals online through Bloowatch. For packages and stays, send us your dates through the contact form. We confirm by email and ask for a small deposit. Questions first? Call the office on +34 928 866 389 or email [email protected].
When is the beach open?
Every day, 10:00–19:00 from April to September and 10:00–17:00 from October to March. The office is open Monday to Saturday, 08:30–17:30.
Good to know
Learn to kitesurf in Fuerteventura
Fuerteventura is one of the windiest of the Canary Islands. At Flag Beach the wind reaches 14 knots or more on more than half of the days from March to August, and on about 70% of days in July. From October to February there are more light days, but good sessions still happen. The water stays between 18 and 22°C.
Kitesurfing in Fuerteventura with us starts on the beach. Day one is a theory lesson and kite control on the sand: the wind window, the safety systems, launching and landing. From day two you go into the open water from our boats. With a boat there are no rocks or swimmers downwind and no long walk back upwind, so you spend more time riding. Your instructor shows each exercise first, then you practise it yourself.
We are a mobile school. Every morning we check the wind direction and strength, then choose the spot from 10+ beaches in the north of the island. Beginners learn to body drag, water start and ride their first metres. Intermediates work on riding upwind and turning. Private lessons suit riders who want one-to-one coaching, or who want to learn on a fixed schedule.
Our instructors are IKO certified, and Flag Beach is a VDWS recognised centre. The beginner kitesurf course runs from one to six days, with all equipment, boat support and two students per instructor in the water. The VDWS licence costs €20 extra on courses. It is included in our kite camps in Corralejo. A one-week camp includes a 4-day course, and a two-week camp adds 4 days of downwind sessions. Already riding on your own? Rent Core kites and boards at the beach.
Flag Beach has been in Corralejo since 1987, with 20+ instructors across all our sports. On a day with less wind, try wing foiling or a surf lesson. After a long session, a yoga class at the Surfer’s Retreat helps your back and shoulders. Want advice on your level and dates? Get in touch.
