Baggage, Boards and Dings
Most airlines will charge either a flat fee or an excess baggage charge per kilo to transport equipment such as surf, kitesurf and windsurf boards. Normally you have to pre-book equipment prior to departure. Make sure you check about bringing equipment when you book your flight ticket and check the costs. Check your travel insurance for equipment cover whilst in transit. And lastly don’t forget to pack a ding repair kit or at least some gaffer tape. It’s also a good idea to check what equipment rental options we can offer you on the ground in Lanzarote as it might be a more cost effective solution.
Travel, Visas & Healthcare
European Union citizens can enter the Canary Islands with just their passport. We strongly advise non-european citizens to check visa and entry requirements with their local Spanish embassy. No vaccinations are needed to enter the Canaries. Whilst there are reciprocal health agreements within the European Union a separate travel and health insurance should be considered essential. Please ensure your insurance covers your for dangerous sports especially surfing. We also recommend you bring a valid EHIC card.
