HEAD SOUTH THIS WINTER FOR SUNSHINE, SURF AND SUBLIME SEAFOOD

There's surf on every island but we always gravitate to the stunning volcanic landscapes and reefs of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.

Both islands have been popular with Brits since the surf potential was unveiled in the late '80s and there's a thriving surf scene wherever you go. Being popular with normal tourists also means rental cars and food are well priced and getting supplies is a doddle.

Of course local knowledge is key for any trip so check out the crew featured here that offer accommodation and coaching. They'll get you wherever is best for your abilities and make sure you get the maximum enjoyment from your mission. Not to mention pointing you in the direction of the best bars and restaurants.

An annual Canaries mission is as essential as the summer Europe run ... get stuck in.
