8 Days Beginner Kite Surf Camp Tarifa, Spain
Yoga and Surf Camp Spain
High Flyers Tarifa is ready to teach each stage thoroughly! They don't make claims of getting you riding by a certain hour because they know through experience that everyone is different, and the conditions are always different. The most important thing is that you progress at your own pace and have the skills and confidence required to enjoy kitesurfing at each stage. But if you're learning fast, they'll push you on! They’ve teamed up with good friends at Ozu-Tarifa for the beginner lessons, ensuring that you will always be taught on the newest equipment (and safety features). This partnership also gives you access to the quietest part of the beach, away from 90 percent of the other kite schools and a fantastic base with cafe, showers, and changing rooms!

Location
Tarifa is such a wonderful place for long-term residents as well as holidaymakers. The Mediterranean diet and family life and the sense of community in this town are so special. Tarifa not only has the awesome kitesurfing conditions but also so much more to offer. With stunning scenery and spectacular views across the straits of Gibraltar to Morocco (just 12 kilometers away), you can make any day trips to Tangier, whale watching, great mountain biking, rock climbing, and horse riding on the beach to name a few things. Tarifa has a growing reputation as a gastro town, with a whole host of fabulous restaurants from traditional tapas to modern European and to a superb vegetarian restaurant. The bars and the nightlife are legendary. It’s a good thing the wind mostly comes in the afternoons.
