0Sotavento • Playa Barca
Not only pro kiters appreciate this spot at the annual World Cup slalom and freestyle. It is the most consistently windy spot of Fuerteventura due to thermal effect of the hills. If the wind in the north of the island is light for kiteboarding, than you will be flying here! Easy freeride...

0Esquinzo
Nice beachbreak with sometimes a barrel section. Picks up swell from north to west, but it has to be (very) small to be surfable. The huge cliffs will shelter you from the northern wind. You will score way longer rides than in El Cotillo. All year around spot.
