The Playa Surf CBbC Hotel in El Médano is known as a pioneer in the windsurfing sector. The funboard used all over the world today was designed and tested here in 1982.
Due to its safe, onshore winds, the bay of El Médano is one of the best windsurfing areas in the world. This is why it is often called 'Little Hawaii' or the 'European answer to Hawaii'!
The hotel has a limited number of storage boxes for your own surf and kiteboards (available for a fee on site).
Due to the ideal beachfront location of the Playa Surf CBbC Hotel (designed by the famous Canarian artist Cesar Manrique), athletes can start directly into the sea via approx. 30m of sandy beach. Wind statistics show that there is wind in the bay of El Médano on approx. 75% of all days. The wind speeds measured are between 4 and 5 Beaufort.
World Cups are often held there in the summer.
