COURSE ORGANISATION AND SAFETY
We understand that besides professional tuition, the most important thing when it comes to learning kitesurfing, is time to practise. This is why we organise all of our lessons in a way to maximise your time with the kite, without sacrificing your safety of course.
Here at ION CLUB Furteventura, Risco del Paso, you won’t find large group lessons where 4 students or more are sharing one kite between each other. Whenever the conditions allow it, our instructors will make sure you have your own kite to practise, train, and make mistakes in a safe and protected environment.
In order to provide you with instant feedback especially during our advanced lesson program, our instructors use Radio Headsets enabling them to communicate with you while riding.
Flexibility
We understand that choosing a kitesurf lesson package from home might be difficult. Don´t worry! No matter which package you choose, if during the lesson the instructor realizes that another package would be more suitable for you, you can always change that on site. You will never have to join a lesson, which actually doesn´t suit your expectations or level.
After every session your instructor will give you detailed feedback and recommendation on how to continue – no matter which course you initially booked. Your success and progress is all that matters to us!
A word about
ION CLUB Risco del Paso
The beautiful natural beach at Risco del Paso, Fuerteventura is located seven kilometers south of Costa Calma. In 2013, ION CLUB opened a wind and kitesurfing school there.
Guests can take the regular and free shuttle service between the center Risco del Paso and Costa Calma. Only a few places in the world offer so many different surf conditions in just one spot than Fuerteventura.
Here at the center you will find a large sandy beach, safe shallow water and wind throughout the year, which makes Risco del Paso a unique place.
BEST PERIODS
March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November
WIND
The hills right behind the beach of Risco del Paso Playa Sotavento accelerate the normal wind strength and also alter the direction of the wind. The direction is more northerly to northwesterly than northeasterly, and blows side-offshore to offshore from the left. Particularly in the summer months the wind is quite
strong and very reliable, but also in spring and autumn there are very good conditions making a windsurfing or kitesurfing trip worthwhile at this time.
WAVES
The waves to the left hand side can get up to two meters high. The waves turn to the direction of the beach due to the large sandbank which divides the lagoon, the open sea and the shape of the bay. Therefore there are fantastic
waveriding conditions especially for beginners. There are no rocks or stones to disturb your session, only pure sand.
