Tips for planning and preparing a surfing vacation with the family
Planning a family surf holiday requires some preparation to make sure everything goes smoothly. Here are some tips that will help you:
Book early
Family-friendly accommodation and surf classes are booked up quickly, especially in the high season. Secure your place with FreshSurf in good time. It would be a shame if your place on the small rock was already taken.
Plan your luggage
Think about what equipment you want to take with you and what can be hired locally. FreshSurf offers a large selection of surf equipment that you can hire directly from us. However, we do not hire out swimming goggles.
Check the weather
Even though Fuerteventura has a mild climate all year round, it’s worth checking the weather forecast to get the best conditions for your surfing vacation.
Plan for flexibility
Children sometimes have different ideas than adults.
Therefore, plan enough free time to be able to react flexibly to the needs of your children or take time for yourself in our intermediate surf lessons on the reef.
