Windsurfing in Gran Canaria
Of all the Canary Islands, Gran Canaria has the greatest variety of scenery,
ranging from sunbaked desert wastes and excellent beaches to quiet sub-tropical
valleys and lush plantations of bananas and coffee. The island also has
the reputation of being the most consistently windy, year round, in the
Canaries.

Bahia Feliz
The
popular windsurfing area of Bahia Feliz, just ten minutes drive from the
busy areas of Playa Del Ingles and San Augustin, is a self contained resort
well suited to families, couples and groups of mixed abilities. Within
the resort is the Club Mistral windsurf centre which caters for all standards
of sailor. In addition, they have just started offering a beginners kitesailing
programme.
The
conditions at Bahia Feliz are more reliable during the winter months as
the wind zone moves inshore and accelerates providing excellent freeride
and freestyle conditions generally in side shore winds from the left. During the summer months, as the wind zone moves
further up the coast, Bahia Feliz offers much gentler conditions, more
suited to beginners. During the summer months, high wind excursions, offered
by
Club
Mistral, are available for intermediate or advanced sailors to Arinaga
and Vargas just fifteen to twenty minutes drive away. Pozo, the renowned
summer and winter wave sailing venue (suitable for ambitious/experienced
sailors only) is also just 15 minutes drive. Situated at the other end
of the bay at Bahia Feliz there is also the Dunkerbeck centre.
