FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Don't you have to be really fit?
All we ask is that you can swim at least 50 metres in open water and don't consider yourself to be seriously unfit. As long as you alert us on the Booking Form to any medical conditions you may have, we then help you to enjoy your Extreme Sport to your individual level. And you can stop and pick up at any time. No one will force you to do anything!

Won't the sea be cold?
The weather temperatures in this part of the world speak for themselves and the Canaries are renowned for year round sunshine. But if you are concerned about spending long periods in the water then don't. We are fully equipped with the most technically advanced wetsuits, which, trust us keep you very warm indeed!

I'd love to come with my family but we have young children, will they be able to do it?
Our minimum age limit for tuition is 7yrs for surfing and 10yrs for windsurfing and this is widely recognised for beginners across the board. But if your children are under 7yrs and can already hold their own in an Extreme Sport then they are welcome to join in fully.
Younger children can partake in the whole holiday too by body boarding in shallows while you have your Extreme Tuition and children absolutely love doing this activity. Or they can be looked after in our Beach cresche or the hotel Kids club.

How much Extreme Sport will I be doing each day?
To get the most out of your holiday our expert instructors recommend about 4 hours Extreme Tuition per day. This could naturally split into two hours in the morning, with a good- sized break for lunch and again 2 hours during the afternoon but your holiday can be more flexible than this.
You can organise your tuition with the instructors, who will advise you about the best times for your extreme sport each day as they are dependant on wind and tides. So you can do as much or as little as you want!

I've got my own board?
If you'd prefer to use your own equipment then just let us know on the Booking Form. You may be liable for airline carriage of the equipment (about £15-£30) but we will let you know at time of flight booking.

I don't want to eat in all the time but I won't have much spending money, what are the restaurants like?
Don't worry, Caleta de Fuste has an array of restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets and they are only a walk away. It is a lovely town and the hotel is right in the middle of it.

What else is there to do?
You want more! We have wakeboards and body boards and there are several good PADI diving centres around the island for those with limitless energy and of course many beautiful, unspoilt beaches to discover. Plus mountain biking, dirt bikes, trips to Lobos or neighbouring Lanzarote and a beautiful 5 star Golf Course just by our accommodation.
Caleta de Fuste has many good restaurants, bars and clubs to unwind in and nice areas from which to people watch. A marina and a wonderful golden sandy bay with volley ball courts and tennis courts close by.

What if there is no Wind or no Waves?
That is something that we cannot guarantee and although Fuerteventura has formidable year round conditions, there will be occasions when Mother Nature falls short. But never fear! Each of the Extreme Sports needs different conditions so if wind is lacking there may well be waves and vice versa. On a windsurfing holiday, you could always try surfing for a day. Failing that we are readily stocked with body boards, and wakeboards and for all of you who have not tried these, they are awesome fun for beginners and advanced alike. Our 4x4's are always up for a mission and if you'd prefer a 4x4 safari day can be organised if the weather is lacking. So as you can see you will have an Extreme Holiday in every sense of the word!
