We love Fuerteventura. We have visited three times as a family and Rhino has spent many winters over on the island in search of the perfect winter waves. You can read more about the Canaries in the 90’s in Rhino’s Surf Diary here. Fuerteventura is the oldest of the Canary Islands, sits to the South…
I used to belong to the school of thought that travelling with kids for Christmas Day was sacrilege. Mortel sin. A big fat NO GO area.

This was just the norm for us at the time. We…
“Rhino have you got any [travel nightmares] like that?” @crest_cast “Nothing as dire as that.
