Surfing:The highlight of our holiday in Fuerteventura was our three days in the surf with Star Surf School. On their advice, we chose a three day package for our family of five, which was a nice value and the minimum length I would recommend. Our instructor (Jamie) was fantastic with the children (12, 10, 8), who have never surfed before. They were also able to provide a stand-up paddleboard for me to try out on some of the waves. At the end of the three days, we had a very happy group, who had all caught a ton of waves and been able to stand up. We also had the photographer (Tim) accompany us, so have a wonderful portfolio of photos to remember the holiday. We look forward to our next trip, and will hopefully join them for a camp soon!
