Detailed Daily Program
Description
Get started with kitesurfing at our kite school in Tarifa. The duration of the course will be 3-4 hours per day and will be carried out as a semi-private course.
Semi-private courses are small group classes with a maximum of two people. With this option, a more personalised attention is obtained, improving the learning speed.
In addition, there is the possibility of carrying out the semi-private course with shared material or each student with their own material. We recommend you start with a shared kite and from the 3rd day if you feel confident and with good kite control, you can choose the option of a kite for each one.
Your personal instructor will guide you step by step throughout the learning process, adapting to you at all times.
At the end of your kitesurfing course you will get an IKO (International Kiteboarding Organisation) certificate so you can prove your level in any part of the world.

About Tarifa
About Tarifa
Wikipedia doesn´t like to share the information at the moment.
Found at Europe's most Southerly point, Tarifa sits in a unique and geographically strategic spot. Here, the continents of Africa and Europe are separated by a mere 14km stretch of water. Here as well, is the violent encounter of the Mediterranean and Atlantic, a result of high bottlenecking mountains that push winds towards Tarifa's 20km coastline. This is why Tarifa has been the European mecca of kitesurfing and windsurfing since the 80s. Tarifa kitesurfing camps and the kitesurfing lessons available are some of the best in the world. The unique blue-green waters blend perfectly with the white dunes and pine forests in epic spots such as Valdevaqueros, Bolonia and Los Lances. Tarifa's nightlife, beach clubs and gastronomy are simply awesome and together with sights of whales and dolphins, make perfect compliments to one of the windiest holidays of your life. Tarifa is the sort of storm you want to experience.
