Fuerteventura and the Canaries: follow the swell!

Story by Justyna SierpińskaProbably most of the people would associate Fuerteventura with turquoise lagoons and flat waters, but this story will not be about that. In the time when you will be less expecting it, the north shore or west cost can be hit with giant winter swells, so it’s no point to follow wind guru, but be present and follow the swell.I’ve been staying in the Canary Islands for last few years. I visited few islands and have my favourite spots. For me it’s a perfect place to combine my two favourite sports: kitesurfing and surfing. My preferred time of the year is winter. Maybe wind is not that sure or blowing everyday, but that’s when you can get the unforgettable rides and top swells.The rocky coast might scare some people but once you are in, you can have the best spots to ride. The kite I’m using here the most is the Nobile T5 7,5 m, which is an optimal equipment for the conditions we have here.
