Ahh, I remember those sands well... It was where I learned to kitesurf many moons ago (even though my course never got completed due to lack of wind)

I've given up on going to Fuerte in recent years, was never windy when I went.
They do say that if it's not windy on one side of the island, it will be on the other... wasn't entirely convinced about that either :)

Have you tried going over to El Cotillo if there's no wind at Flag?

Anyway, hope the wind picks up for ya!

:cry: .........wish I was there. Fingers crossed for wind for the rest of your hols :D . If you get light winds ring Rene Egli in sotavento they will tell you how much wind they have down there, it's worth a trip if there's wind.
All the gear, no idea.
