Rene Egli Kitesurfing Centre
The Rene Egli centre is one of the biggest and best stocked kitesurfing centres in the world! It is located directly beside the tidal lagoon in the palm tree garden of the Hotel Meliã Gorriones.
Rental Equipment:
The centre is always stocked with the newest Cabrinha Kites & Boards; with no less than 350 kites and 120 kiteboards. All setups are available from comfortable freeriding to freestyle.
Safety:
As the wind here is cross-off shore a good rescue service is essential. The centre has great safety cover with staff ‘spotters’ being replaced every 2 hours. There is always someone looking out for any kitesurfer drifting out to sea, in case a rescue jet ski needs to be despatched.
Lessons:
Kiteboarding instruction takes place in two areas. Beginners and improvers are taught in the safety of the lagoon, whilst the more advanced are taken over ,to the large beach on the open sea in the kite surfing area, where jetskis are used to support the instruction. There is a maximum of 3 pupils per instructor, and the courses follow the internationally recognised IKO teaching method. The centre also operates a well organised rescue service using sentries, life guards and jet skis.
Getting There:
There is also a free shuttle service from the centre to Costa Calma, Esquinzo and Jandía, as well as to the deepest areas of the lagoon for customers of the kite centre.
