Yoga
The combination of yoga and surfing is already a tradition for our camps. Also in Fuerteventura, in addition to surfing lessons, we will also focus on overall stretching and relaxation of the muscles of the whole body through regular yoga classes with certified teacher Barbara Hrusova. Lessons can be arranged locally, cost is 10E per lesson, minimum 2 people. “Yoga is modified to stretch the most stressed parts of the body and provide relief from a sport that is new to most participants. Our goal is not to make yogis out of you, but to guide you safely through the asanas that are most appropriate for surfers. During the classes I base the lessons on hatha yoga, the principle of inhalation and exhalation is maintained, and at the end you will have relaxation and aromatherapy.”
Surfing
Surf courses based on the second largest of the Canary Islands are designed for both – beginners and advanced surfers – who want to explore new beaches and wave types, different from the familiar spots on the French Atlantic coast. Both groups will be devoted to Petr and Katka Havlik, who you know from the surf reality show Cool Wave on Prima Cool. They both live and surf the Canaries for over 10 years. The quality of teaching is supported by regular video caching, theory, surfing video projection and, of course, traveling to interesting places on the island. Lessons take place on beginners’ longboard and minimalibu surfboards, on one of the beaches Entubadura, Rocky Point, Playa Blanca or El Cotillo. The choice of the beach always depends on the current conditions. Unlike other spots in Fuerteventura, these beaches offer suitable conditions for the first wave attempts. Advanced riders can try one of the beaches of El Hierro, Punta Blanca or Glass Beach, where the bottom is covered with coral reefs or lava rocks.
Accommodation
Accommodation is provided in one of the villas in the town of Corralejo, just minutes from the best surf spots on the island of Fuerteventura. This location offers the perfect base for surf lovers and food enthusiasts. After returning from the beach, Corralejo invites you to enjoy fresh seafood restaurants and tapas bars with stunning views of the harbor and the neighboring island of Los Lobos. Once a pirate hideout, Los Lobos is now a nature reserve.
Accommodation for individuals is available year-round in apartment resorts with a pool or a private villa. You can find photos of the accommodation at the end of the gallery.

CLIMATE
In the fall, Fuerteventura becomes a paradise for surfers, because then there are the biggest waves. Advanced riders should wear rubber boots in the water to protect them from sharp corals. An essential part of the equipment is a quality sunscreen with a high factor. Bad weather is almost never to worry – the sky is swept up to 2,800 hours a year, making Fuerteventura one of the sunniest places in Europe ever.
