South Fuerteventura kitesurfing centres, South Fuerteventura

The beautiful natural beach at Risco del Paso in Southern Fuerteventura is located at the other end of the lagoon from the Melia properties and just 7km south of the Costa Calma resort. This is one of the best windsurfing and kitesurfing locations on the whole of Fuerteventura.

The huge sandy beach and the windsurfing and kitesurfing spot at Risco del Paso Playa Sotavento is in a class of its own and for sure one of the best places on Fuerteventura. It’s hard to find a spot that offers so many different conditions all at the same place. The windsurfing speed track in Risco del Paso in front of the centre really lives up to its name. Depending on the tide there is a large shallow area in front of the centre, which is superb for intermediate sailors to practice waterstarts and jibes. Another advantage when the tide is up, are two shallow water pools which are used for beginner lessons, giving the students a very safe feeling. Kitesurf lessons are held to the left and separate from the windsurfing area.

The centre is stocked with the newest Duotone and Fanatic equipment for rental and lessons, and all instructors are IKO certified.

Due to the off shore wind condition in the South of Fuerte, any windsurf and kitesurf beach with any buildings or steep hills side directing behind, creates very gusty wind. Risco del Paso has some of the cleanest wind due to its remote location and lack of obstacles to the wind.

Guests can take the regular and free shuttle service between the centre at Risco del Paso and Melia/Costa Calma.

It is around 10% cheaper to pre-book your kitesurfing with Planet Kitesurf. We also strongly recommend pre-booking lessons and rental, especially over peak holiday periods, to ensure availability.

Please note: 10-15% supplement can apply in high season period
