We will provide a range of different DUOTONE KITEBOARDING kites, boards, bars suiting the wind conditions.
Usually, you will do 2 hours/day for the 6 hours course but if there are availability and wind conditions you might be able to squeeze in 2 sessions in a day. Please make sure you contact the center prior your arrival date to check the time of your lesson. Minimum of 24 hours before booking online.

COURSE ORGANISATION AND SAFETY
We understand that besides professional tuition, the most important thing when it comes to learning kitesurfing is time to practice. This is why we organise all of our lessons in a way that maximises 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 with 4 students or more sharing one kite. Whenever the conditions allow it, our instructors will make sure that you have your own kite to practice, train, and make mistakes in a safe and protected environment.
Kitesurfing Safety at Risco Del Paso
Kitesurfing Safety at Risco Del Paso
A safety tower at Risco del Paso Playa Sotavento is always occupied by a lifeguard watching over the kitesurfers during opening hours, and able to act immediately in case of any emergency. The safety team is ready all times to attend rescues with the jetski or the zodiac. Nevertheless, we would like to underline that the spot at Risco del Paso Playa Sotavento has offshore wind, and therefore every kitesurfer should act with due diligence to prevent dangerous situations. Offshore wind is risky and demand that you should assess your sailing abilities honestly before going out in such conditions.
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 of Risco del Paso in the south of Fuerteventura is located 7 kilometers south of Costa Calma. In 2013, ION CLUB opened a windsurfing and kitesurfing school there.
There are very few places in the world that offer so many different riding conditions in one place, as does the island of Fuerteventura and the ION CLUB Fuerteventura center. Customers can use the regular and free shuttle service between the ION CLUB centers of Risco del Paso and Costa Calma. Here, at the center of Risco Del Paso, the advantage is that we have wind all year round, and shallow waters that allow you to have a large standing area, which makes this spot a unique place.
BEST PERIODS
March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November
WIND
The hills just behind the beach of Risco del Paso accentuate the strength of the wind and also affect its direction. The wind blows in a northeast direction, from the left towards the open sea. It is quite strong and very reliable in Fuerteventura, especially in the summer. Although not as strong in spring and autumn, the wind is still present. The conditions for kitesurfing, windsurfing and wingfoiling are optimal, making it a very popular surfing destination. Fuerteventura became known decades ago for windsurfing. The island has always been an undisputed windsurfing spot. Surfing in Fuerteventura is also a local institution.
WAVES
The waves on the left side of the spot of Risco del Paso can sometimes reach up to two meters in height. They roll towards the beach because of the large sandbar that divides the lagoon, the open sea and the bay. The wave conditions are fantastic, especially for beginners in both windsurfing and surfing. There are no rocks or stones that could endanger you during your session, only sand.
