Fuerteventura is definitely a hard place to get tuned up for due to the heavy chop, that’s why I always go at least one week earlier to get used to the chop again! So tip one is preparation! During the week it’s finding the balance between having enough lift to pass the waves, but not too much as in a strong gust your board can fly away. I always make sure that my board is loose on the water and I keep control by lowering my boom a little bit compared to other spots. I think being a bit heavier helps for choppy conditions, so off the water I’m going to the gym a lot lately to get my weight solidly above 90 kg. Mostly I’m doing weight lifting, it’s time for me to grow some more muscles!
