Frequently Asked Questions: Before Your Wingfoil Trip
What should I wear for my first wingfoil lesson in Corralejo? Wear a swimsuit or board shorts. We provide a 3mm wetsuit, helmet, and impact vest. Add a rash guard for sun protection and bring sunscreen (SPF50+). Reef shoes or booties are optional but useful for rocky beach access.
Do I need to be fit to do the wingfoil camp in Fuerteventura? You don't need to be an athlete. Moderate fitness — enough to walk for 20 minutes and swim 50 metres — is sufficient. During the first sessions, the wing and board do most of the work. As you progress, your core and arms will strengthen naturally over the week.
How many sessions should I book for a one-week trip? We recommend 5–7 sessions for a week-long trip. Our wingfoil camps include daily sessions 6–7 days per week. If you want a mix of wingfoil and leisure time, 5 sessions in 7 days is ideal.
What is the temperature in Corralejo during the camp? From April to October, air temperature is 24–30°C and water is 20–25°C. A 3mm shorty wetsuit is sufficient. In November to March, air is 18–22°C and water is 17–19°C — a 3/2mm wetsuit is recommended. Read our climate guide for Corralejo for more detail.
