Windsurfing in Lanzarote

Situated just sixty miles from the coast of Africa on the same latitude as the Bahamas and Florida, Lanzarote is the most easterly lying island in the Canaries group. For consistent wind the island is best visited during the summer months. However, the winter months can produce reasonable winds with excellent waves. This combined with a warm climate and sea temperature makes it a haven for windsurfers/surfers all year round.

Costa Teguise

A few kilometres north of the capital Arrecife is the resort of Costa Teguise which offers plenty of good restaurants, shops, bars and sporting facilities. The windsurfing takes place in Las Cucharas Bay where there are a number of hire centres offering a good selection of equipment from JP, BIC, and AHD, a full teaching programme from beginner to advanced and full rescue cover. A much under rated resort on the windsurfing map, Costa Teguise offers a good variety of conditions to please most standards. Sheltered sailing on the inside, excellent freeride/freestyle sailing on the outside plus wave sailing on the upwind reef break. The resort is perhaps more suitable for early intermediates up to advanced sailors, though beginners are well catered for by all the windsurfing schools.

A popular choice for many of our clients is the Windsurf Paradise Center located directly behind Las Cucharas Beach. Their team of staff are from all over the world (English, German, French-Canadian and Belgium) and all are experienced instructors and passionate about the sport. They are also very safety conscious and have their own bay watch security system and rescue boat which is always available. The centre is equipped with the latest selection of sails from Neil Pryde and boards from JP and F2 in Wave, Freestyle, Freeride and Widestyle as well as equipment for beginners and children all of which is renewed on an annual basis.

Tuition can either be taken in a small groups or on a one to one basis. Video coaching sessions are available to help recognize and correct any faults. As members of the association of International German Windsurf school VDWS they offer a complete beginners course which includes the international basic windsurf certificate.
