Lanzarote » spot info

FBC Lanzarote is located at Las Cucharas (Costa Teguise), right at the heart of the island's local windsurfing and surfing scene. The new center is 150m from the water, well organized, very professional and equipped with shower, changing room and toilets. There you will find the latest Fanatic and Neil Pryde ranges, in all relevant sizes, and a great team who will make your day, every day! The center offers surfboards, body boards, and skimboards to guests for the less windy days, and they also operate a very professional Trekking and Mountain Bike business, as well as a well-stocked surf shop called El Nino at the beginning of the bay.

FBC Lanzarote is located in the middle of the crescent-shaped pure sandy bay of Las Cucharas, and safely surrounded by beach and shore on all sides. A moderate shorebreak sometimes comes through to the beach in which case a team member is there to help you launch or return. The wind is normally sideshore from the left (NE) and increases in strength the further out you sail. Right off of the beach there is a wind shadow in the first 100meters of the spot which offers perfect teaching conditions for entry levels, with light winds and flat water. Further inside the bay in the main (high) wind area, the conditions are flat water and bump & jump, turning into open sea after approx. 500 meters. Perfect for freeriders and freestylers.

A wooden platform is set in the bay between the lighter wind teaching area and the high wind area, allowing people to attach their boards, have a rest and enjoy the action without sailing back to the shore.

The true magic of the place resides in its well known wave spot, which is why the PWA have an event there every year. Once you sail out of the bay, a very VERY nice reef delivers rolling swells ranging 0.5 to 3 meters. The riding conditions are ideal - lots of space between the waves, always the possibility to exit the waves safely, and a wave that breaks really nicely but has very little power. Truly the ideal spot for people eager to sail in (easy) waves of good size, perfect for riding as much as for jumping, and surely a spot to tempt many!

Next door to the center, a little café (Poco Loco) serves fresh local food everyday for great value, drinks, and free wi-fi. Last but not least, you don't want to miss Volcano Surf, the professional surf school run by super Seb and offering rental & tuition for all levels, an alternative that no one can miss and an experience no one can regret !!
