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.

To help you out on your Holiday to Tenerife, we've come up with a great list of 5 tips that can help you make the most of your Tenerife Holiday.

These tips are in no particular order!

1. Pack plenty of suncream, and, more importantly, use it!

Lots of people come on a Tenerife Holiday and decide that they don't need to wear suncream, because they 'never burn'.  We've all made the mistake at least once in our lives, and it's no different here.  Whilst the weather can sometimes be mild, you can (and will) still get burnt.  The sun is out for a high portion of the day - and not taking enough precautions can lead to sunburnt skin, and diminishing the enjoyment of what is meant to be an fun and relaxing time.

Read on to see the rest of the tips!
