DATES 2009: SURFING HOLIDAY
Fuerteventura Surf School is open all year round as Fuerteventura will deliver suitable
waves for beginners and
intermediate ability surfers all year. However if you are an experienced surfer the
winter months produce bigger
swells and offer more consistency.
A TYPICAL SURFING DAY
The base for the camp is the main resort of Costa Calma located at the start of the jandia peninsula. The Surf School is mobile and backed by a fleet of off road vehicles to ensure you surf the best spots during your stay. The outline below will give you a rough idea of what your day on the Surf Camp in Fuerteventura might be like:
08:30-09:30 Accommodation pick-up.
10:00-10:30 The search begins to find the beach with the best surf conditions. Unload the equipment and setup camp on the beach.
10:30-11:00 Discuss lesson plan for different levels. Theory, safety and practice on the beach.
11:00-11:30 Warm-up, stretching and simple exercises on the beach.
11:30-13:00 In the water! Surfing under the personal supervision of the surf instructors offering encouragment and correcting any mistakes/bad habits.
13:00-13:30 Review the morning session. Refuel with a picnic lunch on the beach and top up your tan.
13:30-15:00 More stretching in preparation for the 2nd surf session. Back in the water to practice everything you learned from the morning sesssion and perfect your surfing technique.
15:30 Muster up a final bit of energy to help stack all the boards on the surf vehicles and head home.
16:00+ Chill out in your accommodation and recover from a hard days surfing. Later head into town for some grub and party the night away recounting tales of catching the wave of the day ;-). There is a 'bring-and-BBQ' night every Thursday evening at the Surf Base and two nights a week both guests and crew get together for a pizza night or go out for tapas and drinks.
