Here’s Simon’s review from his last clinic weeks.

“It’s been a few years since our last Windwise session in Fuerteventura and we certainly got a warm, windy welcome back. It’s a fabulous windsurfing location on the southern tip of the island. It’s a huge windsurfing beach which is famous for hosting speed and world cup freestyle windsurfing events. We specifically use the new ION-Club centre which is based on the best part of the beach it is by far the best place to sail with a mix of super flat water, lagoon and speed strip. Sotavento is known for flat blue water, fast blasting summer trade winds, great Canarian food and local adventures, last year were had a fabulous trip and we’re really looking forward to returning again. ” Simon Bornhoft.

The week is ideal for intermediates to advanced level windsurfers to practice in a variety of different conditions and staying in the centre of Costa Calma ideal for beginner windsurfers or non-clinic participant welcome to just relax by the pool.
