KITEBOARDING HAZARDS LANZAROTE

THE SPOTS

Famara is great for more advanced riders wanting to head into the waves, but most spots on the island are either too small or too dangerous for kiteboarding. There are a few places we can suggest without putting yourself in danger. please see our Guide to Lanzarote Kiteboarding Spots. We don't recommend kiting anywhere else.

For beginners to intermediate kiteboarders we recommend you join a Kiteboarding camp or clinic with professional IKO instructors who can safely get you up and riding.

THE SUN

The sun on Lanzarote will burn you to a crisp in a couple of hours, this is a fact. The sun here is harsher than in the rest of Europe, basically you're just across the water from the Sahara Desert! So take proper precautions when going out in the sun especially when you are in the water. 5 basic things to remember:
1. Whenever possible wear a hat/baseball cap.
2. Sun block/sunscreen are essential, get a SPF 45 for your face and arms.
3. Find some shade during the middle of the day (Siesta)
4. Wear polarized sun glasses.
5. Try and 'cover up' when not in the water.
