The Island of the Wolves

You don't have to go to the end of the Earth for perfection.....


...between Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, in the Canary Islands lies the island of Los Lobos. This island is home to nothing, but the best right hand point break in Europe. Ocean swells travel from the North Atlantic, and wrap along the edge of the island, creating perfect, long waves.

These shots were taken on Wednesday by Will Blair. You can book the Lobos boat from the harbour which is near our apartments, and surf house in the town of Correlejo. The boat leaves each day at 10am and costs 10 euros. Returning back at 1.45pm or 4.45pm.

Waiting for the boat back, ready for a cold beer at the local Cafe Lounge and then to bed ready for some more action!

North Track Fuerteventura

The north shore of Fuerteventura is home to some of Europe's biggest, and heaviest waves. From the town of Correjelo on the North-East side, a small dirt track runs along the coastline to El Cotillo on the west coast. Each day you will see hire cars, piled with surfboards searching for the best spot. With nothing around but a lot of lava and dirt, its fair to say the cars get a bit of a battering. Here Chris and James struggle to return the car to the airport.


Its not all burnt out cars, and massive waves in Fuerteventura. In fact on any given day it is possible to search out a surf spot to suit your level. Today the boys surfed on the west coast, a small beach break called Esquinzo.

Naked Golfers, Good Waves and Volcaneos

The surf has been going crazy this winter in the Canary Islands, with big, hollow surf on the north shore of Fuerteventura, and super fun, warm waves on the east coast and south coast of Fuerteventura. The surf school in Fuerteventura has been scoring some great beginner waves, check out these photos from the south coast of Fuerteventura.

Errant Surf Holidays also offers surf tours for more advanced surfers around the more exposed surf spots on the North Shore of Fuerteventura. Check out Cornwall's, James Waters bomb at Bristol Playa this morning.


Surfing is not the only thing to do on Fuerteventura, you can dive, kitesurf, windsurf, get lost in the sand dunes or play naked golf, like these two fellas today on the North Shore of Fuerteventura. All photos were shot by Will Blair

Perfect Heat In Hawaii 20/20 Points For Parko

Joel Parkinson (AUS) surfed a perfect heat to etch his name in the history books at the Billabong Pipeline Masters today. The current World No. 4 scored two perfect 10s to become the only surfer to earn a perfect 20 out of 20 heat total at Pipeline. Parkinson eliminated Vans Triple Crown front-runner Dusty Payne (HAW) in the process.

“I never thought I would get two perfect 10s,” Parkinson said. “It’s not something you hear about every day, so I’d never really thought about doing it. I definitely claimed it like I had won an event for a second, but then I had to settle down and tell myself, ’All you did was make a heat!’ The next heat I paddle out for, I’ll have to remember that."



Nine-time ASP World Champion Kelly Slater (USA) is the only other surfer to score a perfect 20 out of 20. He did so in a 2005 final at Teahupoo, Tahiti to win the contest. "Kelly did it in unreal fashion, mine was a just in a third round heat, but it’s at Pipe and it’s definitely something that when I grow old, I’ll think, ‘I did something in my career my name’s next to Kelly’s on that one,’" Parkinson said.

Parkinson finished fifth in Halewia and Sunset – the first two legs of the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing – and with Nos. 1 and 2 Payne and C.J. Hobgood (USA) losing today, has a good chance to take it out. "That was a big heat for the Triple Crown for sure,” Parkinson said. “I have to start thinking more about the Triple Crown now. I have to forget about those 10s and start surfing heats from now on and not get too ahead of myself."
