Windsurfing Holiday Sotavento
Located on miles of stunning white sand beaches in the south of the island, as in the north Sotavento is a relatively undeveloped area of the Canaries. For windsurfers this is viewed as one of the most windy places in the world, with the Windsurf World Cup held here for the past 18 years. In this secluded spot the Sol Gorriones hotel holds prime position overlooking the the whole area.
Strong winds and flat water conditions make Sotavento a the perfect spot for freestylers, racers and kiters. The predominant wind direction is a deflected North/East offshore wind. In the autumn, winter and spring the wind can also blow onshore from the East/South. Located on the beautiful white sand beach with crystal-clear turquoise water for miles the two Rene Egli centres offer dream conditions for all levels from beginner to advanced.

& Highlights |
| |
Rene Egli has two centres in Sotavento, which are two miles apart, each with its own individual character. These centres have the largest selection of kit that we have seen anywhere in the world! With 300 of the latest F2 and JP boards and 1000 Neil pryde rigs, we can reserve you a board at either centre, with the option to move between centres, subject to availability. The centre shuttle bus connects the two centres, which is free of charge with your board rental. Centre I is located directly in the Sotavento wind funnel, so there is a protected palm garden for a relaxing rest inbetween sessions or some refreshment at the bar. Both centres are covered by watchtowers and rescue boats. A full instruction programme frpm beginner, through waterstart to waveriding moves are available with VDWS approved instructors. It is also possible to opt for combined windsurf/kitesurf rental (Licence required for kitesurf rental - possible to obtain on-site).
Centre II is ideally situated near the large sand dunes still within the Sotavento wind funnel. The spot is equally suitable for beginners and advanced windsurfers. In the large shallow lagoon beginners can improve in dead flat water conditions, while the experienced surfers can jump and ride in 1 - 2 metre breakers on the sand bars in front of the lagoon. The lagoon comes and goes with high tide every six hours. All beginner and refresher courses are run from Centre II. The station is located at the water's edge, complete with Spanish-run restaurant and bar.
