The sea on the western coasts of Fuerteventura has a stronger swell than on its east coast. Its beaches are ideal for various water sports, among them we tell you the ones that stand out so you can choose ¡where to start!
Fuerteventura ¡you never get bored!
1-Surf
As we have talked about this sport in previous posts, this time we will tell you that to get paddling to where the waves break on the beaches of Fuerteventura, we must get around the area where they impact. A good technique is to pass under them, sinking the table with the foot and the knee in the moment just when the wave is about to break.
 2-Snorkeling
Is an activity that takes place in shallow and calm waters. The equipment consists of Snorkel (tube), neoprene suit for very cold water, mask and fins, which must be adjusted and comfortable. It is suitable for all ages and requires no prior experience. On the beaches of JandÃa and in Veril Grande the transparent waters and the rich seabed make this island the perfect place to practice it.

3-Paddle Surf
Paddle Surf or Stand Up, is a sport that is increasing its popularity, consists of standing paddling, to control the direction of a large surfboard. Unlike Surf, here you do not need waves, you can practice in the sea, in lakes and rivers. It serves to tone muscles, improve balance, aerobic capacity, strength and reduce stress.
Some of the places where Paddle Surf courses are taught are Corralejo, Caleta de Fuste, Tarajalejo, Morro Jable and Gran Tarajal.
4-Kitesurf
 This exciting sport has different modalities, here we tell you which are the existing ones
- Regattas: is a course delimited by buoys, very similar to the Olympic triangle in light sailing or to the slalom in Windsurf.
- Freestyle: Score the best jumps, maneuvers and the most difficult movements.
- Waves: consists of performing maneuvers in the waves, giving a higher score to those performed in the most difficult areas.
5-Windsurfing
Fuerteventura has the ideal climate to practice this sport because the wind reigns on the island during most of the year. This is why the World Surfing and Kitesurf Championship is held annually with important competitions, parties and live music. This year the beach of Sotavento prepares for the competition recognized worldwide that will be realized in the following dates:
- PWA Freestyle Grand Slam Windsurfing 07/21 – 07/26/2017
- PWA Slalom Windsurfing Grand Slam 27/07 – 07/31/2017
- GKA Strapless Freestyle Kitesurf Grand Slam 01/08 – 08/05/2017
For ten days the best windsurfers in the world will compete in the test of the Professional Association of Windsurfing (PWA) giving us another reason to continue choosing the beautiful beaches of Fuerteventura.
