Fuerteventura, Flag Beach user rankings

Unfriendly people from Flag Beach Windsurf & Kitesurf Centre
They claimed to be IKO certified, but there is no free rescue. I have kite there for 2 days and I have presence many people in difficulties, one that I tried to help myself. The individuals from the kite center won’t do nothing if you didn’t buy an insurance from them or paid €100,00 if you need a rescue.
Even if you buy an insurance, be carefully about al de restrictions they impose.
The kite spot is ok, water is fine and the wind is fine too, launch the kite is easy, there is allot of space. There is one kiosk and this is not cheap, there are no toilets.
I’m very disappointed with the kite center and I wonder if the IKO Organization do check on this kind of Centers from time to time.
Not recommended for beginners.

Water is colder then on most spots I kited on my holidays so a shorty or thin summer suit was better then only a lycra. Spot is quite rocky especially with low tide. The island looks like the moon; no trees and a lot of sand and rocks.
Ok enough "negatives"; the wind was good, the waves were nice and I liked the kiting and the vibe on the beach and also in the villages.

Good temperature, nice water, not super consistent wind when i was there. There were no toilets at the beach and there is not so much a vibe as on other spots.
