FAQs
Frequently asked questions
How do kite classes work?
Private Lesson (1 Person)
Private kitesurf class is where you’ll learn in the fastest and most safe way, because you’ll have 100% of the instructors' attention. The instructor will be exclusively with you and will fully adapt to your needs and your level. Your kitesurfing class includes a helmet radio communication system, in which you can talk to your kitesurfing instructor at all times, even if you are in the water. It is the most recommended option if you want to learn kitesurfing as quickly as possible or if you come alone.
Semi-Private Lesson (2 Persons)
Semi-private kitesurfing class is for 2 people, each student will have equipment for themselves, which is the maximum number of kites that an instructor can control simultaneously. In the semi-private class your instructor will be teaching two people at the same time, so both of you must have a similar level. In this class you progress quite quickly but it is not as efficient as a private lesson. It is the most recommended option if two people come together, you want to progress quickly and have a cheaper class than the private one.
Group Lesson (3-4 People)
In a class of 3 people, the price is much cheaper, it is usually approximately 45% cheaper than the private class, but the learning speed also decreases, because we have to share two kites between the three. If you come with your group of friends and you have enough time to attend about 8 hours of class, then this type of class is recommended. If you don't want to share a kite and learn faster, you will have to choose two different instructors, or book one class after the other.
4 people is the maximum that an instructor is authorized to teach at the same time, and there will be two groups of 2 students sharing one kite for each group. This class has a much cheaper price but it must be taken into account that we will only use the kitesurfing equipment half the time of the class.
If you're more than 4 people or want to do a team building event, then contact us and we’ll be happy to work out all the logistics.
How many kitesurf lessons do you need to learn to kitesurf?
In our experience, we saw that students that progress quicker typically have these traits:
- Are very interested and excited to learn, and listen carefully to the instructor.
-Had previous boardsports experience (wakeboarding, windsurfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, etc.)
-Have a good overall fitness and body awareness.
For the classes we always recommend private or semi-private because you can progress much more in them. The students have a kite all the time and that is the reason for making more progress, a semi-private class consists of two students with one kite each and an instructor for both. The two students must have the same level more or less, so if you come you should only be lucky so that we have another student more or less of your level in our school, otherwise you will have to do private classes.
What is included in the lesson price?
- All the gear for kitesurfing (Kite, board, wetsuit, helmet, life jacket, etc)
- Insurance (Accident & 3rd party civil)
- Boat rescue service (During Levante)
- Loads of fun
When are the kite lessons?
Where do you teach?
But also it depends on the wind, if there is a very strong Levante in Tarifa, then we would go to Palmones, next to Algeciras.
Sometimes we also go to Valdevaqueros, football stadium, Getares, and other places according to the conditions.
Do you use walkie-talkies/radio communication system for the lessons?
What is your refund/no wind policy?

Kite lesson in Tarifa I can only say good things about Tomek. He is great from start to finish. Always on time and has all equipment ready. Lessons with him safe, fun and explains everything. His unique ability to see your weak point (if you have one) and work on it is amazing! I also liked that he had so much patience and happy to explain something again (although he already showed you 3 times :-). Once you got it right you can move on ;-) and he can teach you for sure. I had full confidence in him! For me he was excellent therefore I highly recommend him to all my friends and to everyone! Keep up the good work and see you again most likely after the summer Tomek. Thank you very much for all
