From the 9th to the 15th of August, Tenerife is going to be home to the prestigious World Kiteboarding Championship.

With over 150 entrants from a total of 12 countries - the event is set to be a lot of fun.  It is being held in El Medano, and provides a great chance for locals to face off against the worlds greatest!

Kiteboarding is a curious mix of surfing and Kiting - it really has to be seen to be believed, and the Tenerife leg will be no exception, since El Medano provides near perfect conditions for the sport.

July was one of the hottest months ever recorded within Tenerife and the surrounding Canary Islands.

The MET office confirmed that the weather for this part of the world was 2 or 3 degrees higher than what would normally be expected for this time of the year.

We urge you to take all precautions necessary if you're out in the Sun in Tenerife.  Ensure you drink plenty of fluids - and alcohol isn't really considered a useful fluid!
