Flag beach is in the north of Fuerteventura on the road driving out of Corralejo. The wind is predominantly cross-shore and Flag beach is the start of some 6-7 km of white sand, where we have about 3 km for kitesurfing. The best months for kitesurfing are March to November. This is when the sea tends to be flat and the wind consistent. During the winter months it can become too wavy and though it might be good on the occasional day it cannot be guaranteed. We have a team of excellent watersports instructors who not only sail, windsurf, surf, dive and kitesurf but also speak 6 languages between them. You can also feel safe in our hands as Rescue facilites are always at hand for any situation that might occur.
During the winter months we have different wind directions like onshore, offshore etc and so the only way to guarantee course completion is by using a boat. All course are then taught regardless of wind direction and teaching from a boat gives us the flexibility to move around the island to the most suitable location.

The difference between the basic and upgrade package is the accommodation standard. The surf hostel is more basic with only 2 bathrooms and 2 kitchens shared among 16 people (7 rooms) when it’s full, whereas Casa Quemadas are 1 and 2 bedroom apartments of a higher standard and with only 2 and 4 people per maximum per apartment respectively.
If more than one person is booking a package where the arrival and departure dates are the same then we are offering 50 Euros off/ package for 2 or more packages. If travelling alone and client does not want to share then single person supplement of 108 Euros/week is charged, otherwise we put them in an apartment with another person (if we have a booking for that date!!!)
If they are travelling with a non participating partner then they pay 128 Euros/wk net for the basic package and 204 Euros/wk net for the upgrade package. This allows them to tag along and get all the pick ups, lunch pack etc except the tuition.
Rescue Cover For Kiters
At Flag Beach we run a rescue cover service specifically designed for kiters.
We strongly advise all private kiters (people not hiring from us) to take out this rescue cover. For 30 euros you can have cover for up to 15 days unlimited rescues this also includes board finding service. Please note anyone needing a rescue and that does not have cover will be charged 100 euros for the single rescue. To get rescue cover either book it online before you come or pass by the centre on arrival.
Kitesurfing Courses
Courses are run on a continual basis with groups of not more than 4 people per instructor on the beach part of the course (day 1 of the beginner course)and 2 per instructor in the water. Most people have very limited experience of kitesurfing so book the beginner and waterwork courses but we can teach to any level as some of our instructors compete at international level.
Certificate / Licenses
We are an IKO recognized centre which means we teach to a certain standard and also means we can issue the IKO Kiteboarder card. These come in different levels depending on ability. There is also a booklet which is very informative which can be bought at the centre or online.
