I’m sure wiping out is an under appreciated skill, but also here the surf instructor has got plenty of advise since he knows the beaches and he’ll let you know if there are rocky parts where you should mind your fall. After some time riding the waves the surf instructor might call everyone out for some exercises on the beach again, but this time it can be to improve for example your take-off. You definitely get warmed up with a smile. Thanks to this I get the best waves! It’s possible to have a surf session from 8:30 in the morning to 12:30 on one day and go for sunset surfing on the next day.īefore surfing you get a warming-up at the beach, involving running around the sunbathing people or other surfers.
A lesson can begin early in the morning or very relaxed in the afternoon, depending on the surf conditions which the surf instructor checks for you every single day. With groups of maximum 8 persons you get all the attention you need to improve your surfing. Planet Surf organizes surf lessons for beginners, intermediate and advanced surfers. Yummy! The Surf house street BBQ-time! Surf lessons Of course an evening of sharing home-made Pizzas and a BBQ night is part of the surf house experience, let alone the cocktails made by your fellow surfers. Everything is organized together and it’s as if we’ve been living under the same roof for years already. As I arrive I also get invited by the others to join for lunch and the ideas for diner later on are being said out loud to be joyfully discussed. Since there is a big kitchen in the house and plenty of fridges it’s great to be able to get some groceries. The HyperDino supermarket – which is fabulously cheap – is located within a stone’s throw of the surf house. As I arrive I am welcomed by the staff and other guests, definitely showing the lovely ambiance of the surf house. Next to the Oasis Village there is a street with big white houses where two of them, which are connected to each other, form the Planet Surf house. Fuerteventura isn’t a big island and it only takes about an hour to get from the airport to the surf house in Corralejo. It seems this country has the great tropical weather conditions, lovely beaches and friendly people too. Bingo! Let’s do this, Fuerteventura here I come! I’ve always wanted to go to Fuerteventura, but never had the chance! Until Planet Surf Camp invited me to join them for a week, and of course I didn’t have to think very long about accepting the invite! I started searching for a flight and found one that takes 4,5 hours from Weeze Airport in Germany. I love to travel and especially to go to those exotic places where the weather is warm, the beaches are beautiful and the people live happily.
