  
MULTI ADVENTURE Holidays - Surfing & Kiteboarding
The aim of the combined kite and surf camp is to give people a safe and fun introduction to both boardsports. At the end of the sessions you will have learned the fundamentals of both and you can decide which one you prefer and would like to pursue further. Be warned both surfing and kiteboarding can be addictive!
The Surf and Kite Academy in Lanzarote is located in La Caleta de Famara and all surfing and kitesurfing sessions take place on the beach of Playa Famara.

Then it's onto more theor a pre-flight check and then onto the exhilaration of launching and landing the kite by yourself. Fell the power and adrenalin kick in!
