Fuerteventura: Over 150 km of beaches in which to get your vitamin D fix and breathe in the sea breeze full of negative ions, it leaves you feeling invigorated and bristling with energy before you even put a board on the water. Yes, it can be windy in the Canary Islands; in fact they are well known for their Alisios winds coming from the Azores High which rotates north easterly patterns directly onto the islands. But sometimes, especially in winter, there is a let up and we can take advantage of the good waves along the north track of Fuerteventura to go for a good surf session.
The island has special vibes. The days go by as you adjust to the landscape and start to feel connected to the elements: the colours at sunrise, the clarity of the ocean, it combines to make this one of the best surfing spots in Europe. The wild, quietude helps unclutter the mind, clearing the path for complete concentration for full days on the water. After your session, local food such as papas arragudas and mojo will leave you replenished and ready to rest before doing it all again the next day.
