Kiteboarding Fuerte with Extreme Holidays
15 January 2007 dans Kite Surfing Canary Islands
I just got back from an ‘Extreme Holidays’ trip there. Stayed in ‘Las Olas’ hotel in corralejo - decent sized appartments but no air conditioning. As far as bars and clubs go there are hundreds, mostly fairly tacky but I would highly recommend ‘Rock Island’ which is a great little bar just off the main street with live music every night and is good for meeting people. The only nightclub I went to was Wikiki which was ok. The restarants in the old town seem the best for food. The resort is expensive though, very expensive for spain… The extreme holidays crewe will probably recommend Corkys Surf Bar and Oink but I thought they were pretty ****e and always totally empty apart from us lot. I would recommend extreme holidays though. Very friendly and professional tuition and very organised. Beware though that they don’t farm you out to another outfit because if they don’t have enough people for a full group they will farm you out and you could get kinda dumped on your own like one guy there who ended up stuck at one beach with no transport, tuition or people to help him. Alexi is the guy who sorted us out. We had a great week. Not too much wind though. There were kitesurfers, windsurfers and surfers all in the hotel, great laugh every night too!! .
Yep they have huge Nissan Patrols full of goodies. Moving from land to water we did an intermediate course, 5 days instruction. North of the island is good, Flag beach is good and El Cotillo (?sp) just over the other side. The other good place we heard of was Sotavento down at the south. I am itching to go again. I came away with my IKO2 card so I am a happy boy. The instructors were first class and a real good laugh, Tams tan is ridiculous, looks like he has been dipped in cuprinol. I am going to book with them again for sure.
