#17 FUERTEVENTURA <3
While we discover the surf spots of Fuertevenura's north shore, LIV stays in the bay of Corralejo where we leave her in the morning and come back late in the evening. Corralejo is the perfect home base for a surf trip! With its laid back flair we could stay here forever; cool bars and cafes, lots of nice people and there's something going on every night! The surf spots are close, buses and rental cars are cheap as well as hostels and apartments! We meet our homies and join their “Chaos Tour” for a while. They stayed a week longer and continued their sick SUP action.
El Cotillo 28°40.628'N – 14°0.639'W
45 minutes/ 3€ with the bus from Corralejo you'll find a very nice beach with a big beach break. Some say this is “the best” at days with perfect conditions. It's not, but for a surf with a SUP the waves are quite good, but only at high tide. Jens catches wave after wave with our SUP. Some locals are rocking the waves with their boards but the few other surfers aren't having fun – Basti catches hardly waves. We really have to get better skills!
Isla de Lobos 28°44.305'N – 13°49.789'W
This rocky island is a “must do” for regular tourists and mainstream party seekers. Every few minutes there's a party boat, a speed boat or a jet ski tour coming. We hadn't planed it, but somehow we spent a day at this small island. Completely unexpected we find a small reefbreak.
What's better than to throw your board into the water, jump off the boat and paddle into the line up only minutes after your breakfast on deck?!
The swell of this nice right is always less than in Fuerteventura, but with the reef only 40 – 100 cm under the surface you can only surf small waves up to 1 metre. Just bring your neoprene shoes and start cruising! It's a perfect spot, especially for your SUP and there's no other surfer! Without a yacht you can catch a taxi boat. Surfers pay a little less than “normal” people, what a nice complement!
Rocky Point 28°44.194'N – 13°51.779'W
This point break is Corralejo`s home spot and is located directly in front of the city! The wave is so good, on some days you don't want to be anywhere else! There are two peaks, an easy right and a peak you can surf in both directions. Most of the surfers in the line up are locals and there is quite a number of SUPs, but everyone is nice and chill. With the waves getting higher Rocky Point is getting quite tricky because of the rocks on the ground.
We anchor with our tender right next to the line up and 2 minutes later we surf the first wave of the day! Rocky is the real shit!
