GETTING THERE

Charter flights run from Gatwick and most regional airports, principally on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Transfer time is 25 mins. To get the most out of a trip to Fuerteventura it is a good idea to hire a car. We can arrange this for collection and drop off at the airport. It costs from £70 per week.

THE WINDSURFING - RENE EGLI

Rene Egli has two centres in Sotavento, which are two miles apart, each with its own individual character. These centres have the largest selection of kit that we have seen anywhere in the world! With 300 of the latest F2 and JP boards and 1000 Neil Pryde rigs, we can reserve you a board at either centre, with the option to move between centres, subject to availability. The centre shuttle bus connects the two centres, which is free of charge with your board rental.

Centre I is located directly in the sotavento wind funnel, so there is a protected palm garden for a relaxing rest in-between sessions or some refreshment at the bar. Both centres are covered by watchtowers and rescue boats. A full instruction programme from beginner, through waterstart to waveriding moves is available with VDWS approved instructors. It is also possible to opt for combined windsurf/kitesurf rental (licence required for kitesurf rental - possible to obtain on-site).

Centre II is ideally situated near the large sand dunes still within the sotavento wind funnel. The spot is equally suitable for beginners and advanced windsurfers. In the large shallow lagoon beginners can improve in dead flat water conditions, while the experienced surfers can jump and ride in 1 - 2 metre breakers on the sand bars in front of the lagoon. The lagoon comes and goes with high tide every six hours. All beginner and refresher courses are run from Centre II. The station is located at the water's edge, complete with Spanish-run restaurant and bar.
