1 / 3
Tarifa kite surfing - by Management
Description
Tarifa is popular with kite-surfer thanks to its reliable wind and suitable beaches (sandy and not too crowded). There are several operators in the area and KitePassion Tarifa Kiteschool is one of them. They have Level 2 IKO (International Kiteboarding Organisation) certified instructors. This review is for a semi-private lesson (2 students with 1 instructor) and the price shown is for 3h. The operator also offers group lessons (up to 4 persons), multi-day group lessons and private lessons for all levels. All the equipment is included ans well as insurance, rescue boats, IKO card and transport to the beach and back (except in August).
Access & Transport
Address: Pol. Ind. La Vega, C. la Linea de la Concepcion, 204, 11380 Tarifa The best way to describe Tarifa's location is "as far south as you can go in Spain". The beach and school are about 1.5km northwest from the center of town. Tarifa is 100km from Cadiz (there are some direct bus taking 1h45), 25km from Algeciras and 45km from Gibraltar.
Instructions & Recommendations
Note minimum age seems to be 8 years old and max 67 years old based on booking platforms. The activity is not recommended for pregnant travellers or anybody with a serious medical condition.
Environmental & Social
Wind powered so no emissions. Helps sustain small independent operators / instructors.
Conclusion
If you are keen on water sports, or generally love trying something new, and happen to be in the Tarifa area with one or two spare days - or even just half a day, then give it a go. Something to remember - although note that beginners will not be riding straight away
Key positive
Some of the most reliable wind conditions in Spain
Trying out and learning something new
Key negative
Expensive but value is still fair
Suitability
There are age restrictions, and we'd recommend this to people between 12 and 60 with a minimum degree of fitness. Not suitable for somebody with mobility issues.
