July is generally the windiest month in Lanzarote and when the professional windsurfers visit the island.
The European Freestyle Pro Tour (EFPT) was first held in Costa Teguise in July 2014 after Lanzarote was dropped from the Professional Windsurfers Assocation (PWA) tour calendar.
This year’s EFPT will be held from the 8th to 12th July and the pros will be competing for €5000 prize money. Windsurfing conditions for the event are described as 3-4 metre waves & choppy on the inside, with 15-30 knots side-shore wind. The weather conditions weren’t great last year and the organisation arranged a last minute tow in competition, which the spectators on Playa Las Cucharas loved!
