Question 1

Is Gran Canaria as good as Fuerteventura for kitesurfing?

Accepted Answer

Pozo Izquierdo (SE coast of Gran Canaria) is one of the most demanding windsurf spots in the Canaries — strong wind (25–45 knots) and choppy sea, ideal for experts. Maspalomas (south coast) is more suitable for intermediates. Fuerteventura remains more versatile for all levels.

Is La Cicer always open for surfing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. La Cicer is an urban beach in Las Palmas accessible year-round. Host of the WSL Gran Canaria Pro (Challenger Series). Quality sandy beach break, working in NW swell (autumn–winter) and NE (spring–summer).
