Fuerteventura, Canary Islands PWA Surf Championship

Sotovento on the south east coast of Fuerteventura will once again welcome the worlds best surfers to compete for the various catogories and display their skills.

Celebrating 25 years of World Cup competition, this year’s Fuerteventura Grand Slam will run from the 23rd of July through to the 2nd of August, with Sotavento’s beautiful beaches playing centre stage to the world’s fastest slalom racers, and the most tricked up freestyle competitors.

The world famous Rene Egli windsurfing centre will once again be hosting the event on the south-eastern shores of the island of Fuerteventura. Ideally situated, this destination allows the competitors direct access to the awesome conditions, whilst also providing every opportunity for the spectators to enjoy the action from the comfort of their sun loungers.

The excellent conditions found at this beachside paradise allow the freestylers to raise the bar year upon year, with constant strong winds, and the occasional stunt ramp giving them every opportunity to perform the most radical tricks. The same conditions also enable the slalom sailors to get reacquainted with their smallest sails for some adrenalin pumping racing round the buoys.

Buses to Sotovento will be laid on from Corralejo Puerto del Rosario and Caleta de Fuste.
