Looking for a Fuerteventura surf holiday that combines 35+ years of island knowledge with the thrill of the North Shore? You have found it.
Since 1988, Flag Beach has been the beating heart of water sports in Corralejo. While other schools might stick to the same spot day in and day out, we believe a true surfer chases the conditions. We are not just a school; we are a mobile surf academy dedicated to finding you the perfect wave, every single morning.
Why is Flag Beach the best choice for your surf trip?
When you book a holiday, you want guarantees. We don’t rely on luck; we rely on experience. Here is why surfers choose us over the competition:
- The “Mobile School” Advantage: Fuerteventura offers incredible variety, but the wind and swell shift daily. We don’t limit you to the beach in front of our Surfing Centre. We load up our 4x4s and vans to take you where the waves are working best, whether that is the white sands of El Cotillo, the gentle rollers of Glass Beach, or the hidden gems of the North Shore.
- VDWS Certified Expertise: Our team isn’t just enthusiastic; they are fully qualified. We adhere to the high safety standards of the VDWS (International Water Sports Schools Association), ensuring you are in safe hands from your first paddle-out.
- Small Groups, Big Progress: We keep our student-to-instructor ratios low. This ensures you get the personal feedback needed to correct your stance and pop up faster.
What can you expect from our surf courses?
We have designed our surf courses to maximise your time in the water while keeping you safe. Whether you are a complete beginner or looking to refine your cutback, our daily routine is built around the tide and the swell.
A typical day with Flag Beach:
- The Meet-Up: We gather at the Flag Beach Centre or pick you up from your accommodation in Corralejo around 10:00 AM.
- The Hunt: Our instructors analyse the forecast to decide the best spot for your ability level.
- The Session: We provide high-quality soft-deck boards (for safety and stability) and wetsuits. You will start with a warm-up and beach theory before hitting the waves for practical tuition.
- The Result: By the end of the course, our goal is to have you standing, turning, and reading the ocean with confidence.
Accommodation: Sleep where you surf
A great surf holiday isn’t just about the water; it’s about the vibe after the sun goes down. We offer a range of accommodation options to suit every budget:
- The Social Vibe: Stay at Sol y Mar, our legendary surf hostel. It’s the perfect place to meet fellow surfers, share stories, and enjoy a BBQ after a long day in the water.
- Private Villas: Looking for more privacy? Check out our apartments like El Caleton or villas like Las Tinajas for a more relaxed, self-catered stay.
More than just Surfing
Fuerteventura is the “Hawaii of Europe,” and sometimes the wind kicks in. Why not mix up your holiday? Flag Beach is also the island’s premier centre for kitesurfing and windsurfing. Many of our guests combine a morning surf with an afternoon kite session for the ultimate water experience.
FAQ: Planning Your Trip
When is the best time for a Fuerteventura surf holiday? Fuerteventura has waves 365 days a year. Summer offers gentle, warm swells perfect for learning, while autumn and winter bring the renowned Atlantic power that lights up the North Shore.
