Flag Beach Surf Camp (Corralejo, Fuerteventura)

ABOUT THE SURF CAMP

Our surf camp is based in the north of Fuerteventura in the fishing town of Corralejo which today is also a tourist resort with lots of bars, restaurants and a few night clubs.
It is the ideal location as we also have 17 surf breaks (both beach and reef) within a 20 minute drive from our surf camp.
We use a variety of spots, usually sandy beach breaks on both the east and west coast.
Surf conditions vary throughout the year and day to day depending on the direction of the swell, hence our school is mobile. We choose a spot each morning depending on the group’s ability and the daily conditions.

Owner is Ben Thomas and has been in Corralejo since 1988.
The camp also runs a kitesurf and windsurf centre so there is a multi international team that changes with each season, however, office and management staff are long term.
