The easiest way to get to Lanzarote from Gran Canaria is to take the direct ferry that leaves 23:00 from Las Palmas and gets there at 6 in the morning, so I had quite a rocky night on the boat on the way over! Jameos Del Agua is a quite a well known spot in the Canary Islands and Lanzarote has also the reputation of having the best surf spots in the archipelago. Having Timo and Jorge in the water was super fun and also the local Noah Vocker, he has improved a lot since the last time I sailed with him. Normally in Lanzarote you never sail with less than 4.7, Gran Canaria must be super windy for it to be working actually. I sailed on 5.0m and 93 litre board, as I needed that extra bit of sail to be able to plane on the inside. The sets break very close to the rocks so you don’t want to be without wind. I am always happy to check other spots around the Canary Islands, I definitely would not like to train in one spot the whole summer, that would make me frustrated. It was a very fun, short and sweet trip!
