FAQ
You ask, we answer
In autumn/winter season trade winds stabilise and blow from NE with average strength 10-15 knots.
Often the wind is 20 knots or stronger at our spot. Even with 15 knots wind the waves build up quite big and long.
Our spot can be pretty demanding, but every year we have many beginners.
If you are a fit person who loves adrenaline- Tenerife dinghy sailing is definitely for you.
If you prefer more stable conditions- don’t worry! During our courses we try to use the less windy morning time to sail, often you will go on our keel dinghy together with the coach to feel more confident and safe.
Buoyancy aids are obligatory and are included in charter price.

We advise to wear a wetsuit, or some light, quickly drying clothing. A windbreaker is usually
a good idea. A hat, sunglasses and sunscreen is a must. If you don’t have proffesional dinghy

windsurfing or surfing are just fine.
