René Egli Kiteboarding

In 2001, the Rene Egli Kitecenter in the south of Fuerteventura became part of the René Egli Center I, which was established in 1984 on the long, sandy beach at Sotavento. The combination of its warm climate, unique water and wind conditions and short flight times to the island make Fuerteventura Europe’s year-round watersports paradise. 

Due to its geographical location and the island’s geology, the area around the Playa Sotavento enjoys consistent wind conditions. Indeed, Fuerteventura’s unique climate and wind conditions make it a great holiday destination all year round. 

Our kite center lies at the north end of a 4km long tide-dependent lagoon. Situated just a short distance away from the 4****+ Hotel Meliã Gorriones, the center is known not only for the range and quality of the services it provides, but also for its excellent wind conditions which have made it the ideal venue for the Windsurfing World Cup, held here for the last 27 years. Since 2001, this has been held jointly with the Kiteboarding World Cup. 

Our centers offer you a range of the latest equipment which is unique the world over. Again for 2012 we have stocked up on 350 kites and 120 top-quality CABRINHA kiteboards. We will be happy to reserve you a fixboard for the duration of your stay, but this can of course also be changed (depending on availability) so that you can try out any of the other boards.  

To ensure a trouble-free holiday experience, it goes without saying that we provide a lifeguard service with plenty of lifeguard towers around to monitor what’s going on in the water. And even when you’re not surfing, our team of over 60 staff will take care of everything for you from booking through to your return journey so that you can get on with enjoying your holiday to the full. Our physio- and massage team can offer professional treatments right on the beach and our team of specialist watersport photographers is always on hand to capture those special action shots for your album! 

Our Rene Egli Kite Academy camps will be running again in 2012 – your opportunity to improve your individual kiteboarding skills within a relaxed, small group setting.
