GETTING THERE

Charter flights run from Gatwick and most regional airports, principally on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Transfer time is 80 mins. To get the most out of a trip to Fuerteventura it is a good idea to hire a car. We can arrange this for collection and drop off at the airport. It costs from £100 per week.

RENI EGLI

Established over 20 years ago, the Rene Egli center has one of the most comprehensive stocks of kiting kit that we have seen, on one of the most awesome locations to be found anywhere. The kite centre here has established Sotavento's reputation as an excellent kite spot and hosted the 2001 and 2002 Kite-World cup (where Sebastian Catelan set a new hang time record of 8.87 sec!).

The Rene Egli kite school has a number of VDWS (German Association of Windsurfing Schools) & IKO certified, multi lingual, instructors that adhere to tried and tested methods of instruction (including the buddy system for beginners which is highly endorsed here at Planet). VDWS certificate are recognised world wide including IKO. MAXIMUM 2 PUPILS PER INSTRUCTOR (except for beach Intro). Just in front of the Pro center I there is the large lagoon that is flooded two weeks of the month, making for the perfect Kitesurfing Spot for beginners, with flat shallow water surrounded by a large expanse of sandy beach - just perfect !
