The windsurfing adventure you didn’t know you needed — or at least, that’s what the hype suggests. Renting premium equipment from RENT&GO in Fuerteventura offers more than just a day on the water; it’s a chance to explore the island’s best surf spots at your own pace. Imagine gliding over clear waves with top-tier gear from brands like NeilPryde and Flikkaboards, without the hassle of lugging your own equipment or dealing with airport delays. That’s the real appeal here.
Two things I particularly like about this experience are the flexibility to rent by the hour, day, or week—allowing you to tailor your windsurfing to your schedule—and the quality of the equipment, which makes even a beginner feel like a pro. The equipment includes a full carbon windsurf board, two sails, and other high-end accessories, so you’re set for a serious day on the water.
One thing to keep in mind is that while the rental package is superb, additional gear like wetsuits, boots, or harnesses isn’t included and must be booked on-site. If you’re planning to spend full days or multiple days windsurfing, you’ll want to allocate some time to get fitted for these extras. Also, since the rental starts from the moment you pick up your gear, planning your timing around the local wind conditions is key.

How the Rental Works and What to Expect
Once you arrive at the Shaka Fuerte Surf Shop & Rental, the process is straightforward. You pick up your gear, which includes a full carbon windsurf board, two sails, and essentials like a boom, mast, mast foot, and extension. The high-quality brands, such as NeilPryde, mean your gear will perform well whether you’re aiming to carve fast or cruise gently along the coast.
You can rent by the hour, day, or week, giving you the flexibility to match your windsurfing ambitions. For example, if you’re visiting for a weekend, booking for a couple of days might be ideal — especially if the wind conditions are optimal during your stay. Plus, since the rental period begins at pickup, you can start your session whenever the wind is just right.
Discovering the Best Windsurfing Spots on Your Terms
One of the biggest draws is exploring Fuerteventura’s many beautiful windsurfing spots without being tied to a group or tour schedule. Whether you prefer the calmer waters for practicing or the more challenging waves, you can chase the best conditions island-wide. The flexibility to move around and surf where the conditions are best is a real bonus.
Practical Tips for a Smooth Experience
Since additional gear like wetsuits, boots, or harnesses isn’t included but can be booked on-site, it’s worth planning ahead for cooler days or longer sessions. Also, the rental does not include pickup or transfer services, so you’ll want to arrange your transport to and from the shop.
If you’re unsure about your skill level, the staff is happy to advise on suitable equipment. From reviews, it’s clear that the guides, including the friendly team at Shaka, help create a relaxed environment, especially for beginners.
