Biggest, Best, Oldest, Most established...
...Yeah, yeah, whatever! Zoco Boardriding is not the biggest or the oldest and we will hopefully never be established. We will never wear suits (other than a wetsuit) and we will always only offer the kind of holidays we'd wanna go on ourselves: tried and tested boardriding holidays that kick ass, at a lot less dinero than our competitors. That's why you should FUEL your addiction with Zoco.
Another dose of FUEL
It always amazes me how much bullshit travel companies talk. Special deals and offers that don't exist when you try and book them, special 'easy terms' and payment options that are no different than those we offer as standard. These guys have to assume the general public have no access to the internet? Before you book your next boardriding holiday please get a few quotes!
OK, that's my rant for this month. In this edition of FUEL: New intensive surf clinics in Lanzarote, new longboarding clinics, October's Kook-of-the-month and we highlight some new developments on ZocoTravel.com.
In this issue: Lanzarote Level 4 surf clinics | Lanzarote longboarding clinics | Kook Of the Month | New destinations | Special offers | Feedback

The Lowdown
This Lanzarote surfing holiday is ideal for surfers who want intensive coaching at the highest level available and a choice of private accommodation in the village of Famara close to the beach and village reef breaks. The Lanzarote surf school is possibly Europe's finest surf school. The school uses the latest safety guidelines and most advanced techniques. All the instructors are professional Beach Lifeguards and are BSA level 1,2,3 and 4 qualified. The School is also a BSA Level 4 Approved Surf School, the BSA's highest award and is the few only Level 4 Approved surf school outside the UK.
Who's it for?
The clinics are a little more expensive than your average surf camp, but you get what you pay for: Probably the best surf tuition in Europe. The courses are open to those with none or very little surfing experience and to surfers with experience, who wish to improve and expand their skills. The surf courses are run in small groups and each individual is taught at their own pace and according to their own needs.
Ages range from the youngest ever student aged 6 to a record 82 years of age!

The Lowdown
The Lanzarote longboarding clinics are here because you kept asking. We didn't really want to do it unless it was gonna be awsome - and it is. We finally found the right instructors and the right school to offer you the best longboarding tuition available and we're not just saying that - members of the British Team have trained here including three times British Longboard Champion, Lee Ryan.
Who's it for?
Longboarders who want intensive coaching at the highest level available. The coaching offered here is some of the best surf tuition available in Europe at the moment and the surf school is a Level 4 Approved surf school (the BSA's highest award). Learn or improve your longboarding technique (cross stepping, nose riding, drop-knee turns, generating speed etc.
(This one's for you Juha, now you can sit deep at Bermeja and you won't threaten our lives with your low-flying longboard ;-).

This is the chance you've been waiting for...
Public humiliation and ridicule for the chance of gleaning some vague prize. We realize there are not too many self debasing boardriders out there but I'm sure we all have a pic of one of our buddies acting like a complete dingbat ;-).

Cabo Verde / Cape Verde
We are working flat out to get this world class windsurfing and kiteboarding destination launched before the end of October. This destination is the ultimate winter break. Cabo has the most unbelievable wind stats you'll ever see! As a FUEL reader you've heard about it first and can already plan your trip, just contact us for details and prices.

Update on windsurfing in Lanzarote & the Caribbean
In this edition of FUEL we hoped to introduce two new windsurfing destinations to our travel portfolio: Lanzarote in the Canary islands and Guadeloupe in the Caribbean. After much deliberation we decided to launch Cape Verde first (see above). Basically because the October to June is the best wind season for Cabo Verde. We will be postponing the launch of Lanzarote & the Caribbean until early 2007 and will keep you posted here.
