Nice vid, Thanks Dan!

I have been there last year, amazing place, even though it was hard to get wave for me on my level 🙂 nice lo-fi house in the video btw. I value your content and lifestyle. I am also surfer, also trying to be able to travel with my work (e-shop owner, love writing aswell, thats my main passion in online bussiness/ life).. enjoy your trips

Good work my friend. I have been chasing waves the last couple decades in South America, Indo, Europe. Been to quite a few of your locations so I can vouch for the decriptive accuracy. Also like the fact that you stick to describing the well known spots to keep the others a bit less crowded. Always a big conflict for me between turnig people onto an uncrowded spot and bringing on the crowds.

Thank you! yeah it's a tough one, especially because my job is to help people surf and travel hahah. But I only mention well-established crowded spots by name, and keep others a bit more low key. Still get my fare share of hate for it here on TY though hahah!

I remember surfin Los Lobos in the 90s... Nice and quiet back then... Looks like a proper nightmare now!!

@@DanHarmon123Hi, just came back here to thank for the video i went to couple of spots and your video helped me out a lot. At the hotel I was at there was a guy that advised me to go to a spot called playa del Moro in Corralejo caught some 3-4 meter waves on the lost few days of my stay there it was sick since. I live in the Nederlands with barely any waves so these were some of biggest waves I’ve ever surfed.

Love the fact that you didn't name the spot unlike most vloggers nowdays. Even though this place is well known, good job on not naming it! Most spots there are like a zoo now.

Hey Dan, Fantastic video! I'm also based in the UK, originally from Brazil, and while I grew up surrounded by surfing culture, I never quite mastered it-perhaps due to my lack of interest back then. Do you happen to know of any reputable surfing schools in Fuerteventura?. Oh, and if you're connected with anyone from Manchester or the surrounding areas who's at a similar skill level, please let me know ! It'd be wonderful to have a companion on this journey. I'm planning to head out there in March. Cheers!

@DanHarmon123

Жыл бұрын

Hey mate! I may also be there in November, but yes there's so many waves there! But the best place will depend on your ability... Lobos (the right where I surfed) is a sick wave, but not great for beginners. Other spots like harbour left, rocky point and the bubble are pretty fun for advanced surfers as well. But if your beginner/intermediate head to German rights, or the beach break over in Cotillo! hope that helps and maybe see ya there!!

I thought, "Everything you need to know apart from one spot" didn't sound that good as a title so left it out hahah!!

Hi, great Vid of course, and thanx for not naming the wave. This is actually a very local spot and out of respect for the local surf community it should stay that way. Nowdays you need permission from local surfers to surf there, as all other spots on the island have become crazy with tourists who just come there for a few days of surfing and do not respect surf etiquette and local surfers. This increasingly frustrates local surfers. So: please be polite; ask if it is oke to surf on a certain spot; know your level; say hello to other surfers; wait for your turn; surfer at the peak has priority; do not drop in, etc etc. Thanks.
