Merry surfing Xmas!

Hello surfers,

after a nice surf session at El Cotillo beach we are ready for some xmas celebration here on the north shore of Fuerteventura.

The next few days are going to be busy cause we will be visited by a lot of new and old surfers who decided to spend the xmas holiday under the african sun :). It's gonna be fun!!!

Our best wishes for a merry xmas and a great 2012 from the Home Grown team!!

Good waves to everybody!

Winter in Fuerteventura: waves, sand and sun!

Hello everybody!

Due to a short trip to the U.S. I haven't uploaded new pix since a few. Sorry for that.

Anyway, November it's almost at its end, and despite it's supposed to be low season we have been very busy at the Home Grown surf camp.

Probably more and more people know that winter in Fuerteventura means wearing flip flops and sunbathing on our beautiful beaches after a surf session!

In the last weeks the conditions have been pretty classic: the group of the intermediate surfer have surfed the reef breaks on the north shore and the ones at their first experience have had the first surf lesson on some of easier beach break around Corralejo and the sand dunes park.

Today in particular the north shore was really on fire and some guys scored really good waves!

As usual i post some shots...I hope you like them!

For the ones just left the Island and the surf camp, good bye and see you soon on the line up!

Autumn in Fuerte!

Hello surfers,

september has come and already 3 big swells have hit the island in the last 20 days! All the reef breaks of the north shore were back on fire as well as the Island of Lobos with its long and perfect right hander!

The guys and the girls at the Home Grown surf school with more experience on the board could surf the reef in really good and clean conditions and the ones who were at their first try have been brought to the sand dunes and to the other beaches along the east coast.

Nothing else to say, the waves are breaking good today, so it's time to go surfing!

Till the next...

September sessions..

Hola everybody!

I can without any doubt say that this summer was absolutely a blast! We had good waves, fantastic weather, good parties and, most important, we had the pleasure to host and teach people from almost all over the world, from New York to Sydney from Rome to Oslo!

The busiest moment of the year seems to be over now, even though the surf Camp "Casa Hilda" is pretty full.

These first days of september are giving us the first waves on the north shore making us looking forward to the winter!

As usual, few pictures are below...

We hope to see you soon back!

We ♥ Surfing!

Hello surfers!

Busy times here at the Home Grown surf camp. So sorry for not updating the blog that often.

We are surfing a lot the east coast of Fuerteventura in some of the most beautiful surroundings of the island like the golden beaches in the sand dunes natural park in Corralejo. The more experienced are still going to the North Shore to surf the reef breaks that still work in summer.

The town of Corralejo (where the surf camp is) is full with surfers and tourists, this means that for the more hard-party guys and girls the nights are always too short.

As usual, here you have few pics of the last weeks.

Ciao!

Summer time in Fuerteventura!

It's already two days the temperature during the day is above 35 ° due to the warm Kalima wind coming straight from Africa, from where we are just 90 kms far!

The good thing is we have almost endless beaches to get refreshment and of course waves ti surf!!

As usual here some pix of the last few days with the Home Grown surf school.

For the first time I post also a picture of myself working:) Thanx to my good friend and good photographer Axel Piperno for the photo!

PS: tonight is the San Juan night and as tradition almost in every beaches there will be bonfires and people jumping in the water under the moon light!

Enjoy your summer and keep on surfing!

Winter waves in Summer!!

Hallo everybody,

here is Mauro with the usual update from the Home Growners in Fuerteventura!

The last days, a big swell blessed our coastline giving us the opportunity to surf the famous winter breaks wearing just our bath shorts!

At the Home Grown surf camp, the intermediate group had the chance to get some nice rides on some of the easier reef break on the North Shore of the Fuerte and for whom was at its first experience we had nice a gentle conditions on the beach breaks on both side of the Island!

Some images of the last sessions are attached below!

Greeting from the middle of the Atlantic Ocean!
