The Atlantic breathes hard along Fuerteventura’s eastern coast; wind pushes a steady, salt-scented rhythm across shallow bays and broad beaches. In a small teaching group you’ll rig a board on a wind-tugged shore, feel the sail fill, and watch the horizon shift from shoreline to route as the instructor tugs you toward first glides.
