Who this fits

Adventure Disconnection

Built for those with a minimum base in water sports who want to progress fast in a few days, those already travelling to Gran Canaria for other reasons who want to add an intensive, those wanting a short format with no accommodation commitment. Not the right fit for absolute first-timers without prior contact with the sea; for that, Corralejo is gentler.

Frequently asked

Got a question not listed here? Just ask.

Minimum age?

12, due to the physical and coordination requirements of kitesurfing in these wave conditions.

Do I need previous experience?

Not mandatory, but the school recommends some familiarity with water sports given the wind and wave conditions at Jinámar. Without previous experience, progress will be slower — for full immersion with more margin, consider the 5-day course in Corralejo (Fuerteventura).

What are wind and wave conditions like?

Steady trade winds year-round. Strong waves breaking in both directions; ideal for progressing, especially at low tide. Bottom is sand mixed with some rocks — booties not essential but helpful.

Is it safe for beginners?

Yes, with certified instructor supervision and full safety gear. For absolute first-timers without water experience, Corralejo is a bit gentler; Jinámar works well when there's a minimum base.

What do I bring?

Swimsuit, towel, water-resistant sunscreen, comfortable change clothes, sunglasses and water. All technical gear is provided by the school.

Where do I sleep?

On your own in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (15 min by car) or Telde (5-10 min). Options range from tourist apartment to hotel. The school can recommend areas but doesn't manage the booking.

How do I get to Jinámar?

Gran Canaria airport (LPA) 15 min by car; daily direct flights from mainland Spain. Public bus (Global lines) from Las Palmas to Jinámar, frequent. A rental car gives more schedule flexibility.
