Surfing & Kiteboarding World Cup on Fuerteventura

Windsurfers and kiteboarders think of Fuerteventura as the Hawaii of Europe. As well as white sand beaches, blue skies and all year round summer temperatures, the island also has all the wind a windsurfer or kiteboarder could wish for. The wind-powered acrobats fly distances of up to 70 metres, reaching heights of up to 15 metres.
From 17th July to 1st August 2009, windsurfing and kiteboarding world championship events will be held on Fuerteventura. The windsurfing programme includes slalom and freestyle disciplines. The kiteboarders will compete in the freestyle discipline and there also will be a kiteloop competition.
Slalom is the Formula 1 of windsurfing. The event consists of a high-speed race around a course marked by buoys, with tense tussles for position and spectacular overtaking manoeuvres. Both windsurfers and kiteboarders will compete in freestyle events in which a jury of judges awards points for spectacular leaps and breathtaking manoeuvres.
With no exhaust fumes or engine noise, the competition for world championship points shows just how congenial and in harmony with nature top level sport can be. Once they’re out on the water, the competitors really give it some juice – using the latest equipment, they utilise the wind so effectively that they can accelerate faster than the fastest sports car.
The competitions are held at a spectator and camera-friendly proximity to the beach. Direct contact between competitors and spectators is encouraged. The extreme sportsmen and women are more than happy to have spectators looking over their shoulders whilst preparing for the off.
There is also a wide-ranging programme of events and plenty to help you keep body and soul together. Spectators can chill on the beach with drinks, snacks and music whilst watching the events in the 1,000 m² lounge area. At night, thousands of visitors and locals groove together at the legendary World Cup Parties in the 2,000 m² party tent. At the award ceremony, the competitors will also join the fans in painting the town red.
Organiser information: The world cup on Fuerteventura is sponsored by the town of Pájara (Fuerteventura) and the Spanish Government. The event will, as it has for the last 24 years, once again be organised by René Egli and his team. www.rene-egli.com

More Flights Coming To Fuerteventura

More Flights Coming To Fuerteventura from the UK

EXETER International Airport has signed a deal with an airline and tour operator which will run new flights to two winter holiday hot spots. Palmair will be flying holidaymakers from Exeter to Tunisia in November. The company will also operate flights to Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands, for one or two-week holidays, from November until the end of March, 2010.

The airport’s managing director Jamie Christon, said: “This is great news for the airport team and for those wanting to fly to guaranteed sunshine this winter. Despite the gloomy economic conditions, these new routes may be an indicator of better times ahead and I am confident that these flights will sell out quickly”.

UK-based Palmair, which operates from offices in Bournemouth, was voted Britain’s most popular short haul airline last year in a survey by Holiday Which?

New Flights and solid Real Estate prices in Fuerteventura all help in the Islands progress as a place that is growing on the touristic map of Spain

Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands has recently been named a Bioshere Reserve, all this is seen to assist and help in the growth of the island, which will produce good returns on real estate prices, provide a better environment for visitors and access is being provided by more and more flights to the Canary Islands from the UK.

Last week it was announced that UNSECO have made Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands a biosphere reserve. This means that Fuerteventura have been recognised as having a unique environment and that the islanders are working to ensure that people and wildlife live harmoniously together. This should help to stop some of the over development that has happened and keep the island the beautiful, peaceful place that has made Fuerteventura a place for those that have visited a place we all love. The announcement that Fuerteventura has been named as a UNESCO biosphere reserve, what you can do to help the Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands live up to this honour. The award is given to areas where people and the environment are working to live in harmony with each other and the recent survey that showed a 30% increase in the Hubara bird in just one year helps to confirm this. But you cannot just leave this up to the Cabildo to follow good environmental practice, this has got to come from every one of us who visits Fuerteventura for their vacation / holiday.

The immediate thought that comes into people's minds when they think of themselves and the environment is recycling, but in many ways this should be almost your last resort.......

More good news on flights to Fuerteventura island this week, Palmair are going to come to Fuerteventura from Exeter for the winter season, these start in November.

Fuerteventura Airport – Canary Islands Airport’s do not rank in SkyScanners lastest list of rudest, weirdest and strangest airport names in the worl

The old capital name for Fuerteventura which was formally known as Puerto de Cabras ( Port of the Goats ) now known as Puerto del Rosario because it was felt the previous name did not reflect the right image for an islands capital that is the business centre for Real Estate, banks, Lawyers and Notary’s. We think that Fuerteventura’s Puerto de Cabras could have managed to obtain the listing in the airport or zoo category for Goat Airport
