Beginners Kitesurfing Holiday
The large beaches in Tarifa make it good for learning to fly the kite. On the water it is best during a poniente when the wind is blowing cross onshore. Conditions in Tarifa can vary considerably so you need to be prepared to be flexible, especially if you are beginner. It is a destination that is most suitable for improvers or for those wishing to combine windsurfing and kitesurfing.

SKYRIDERS KITESURFING CENTRE
Skyriders, as a division of the world renowned Club Mistral, are one of the most professional and safety conscious kitesurfing centres we have vetted.
The centre at Rancho Valdevaqueros in Tarifa, is right on the large sandy beach of Casa de Porro (Las Dunas) where the wind is often strongest. Launching is straight-forward in both Levante and Poniente, and the protected bay provides optimum conditions for all kitesurfing skill levels. The shorebreak can be stronger in Autumn if the wind is onshore. It is only a short walk from Hotel 100% Fun and is stocked with the latest Mistral boards and North rigs. The centre closes from November to March.
The best time for kitesurfing lessons in Tarifa is in the summer, especially for beginners. The huge space, sandy beach, and flat water make this a great spot for learning to kitesurf. In Spring/Autumn the onshore winds are more frequent, creating more waves, so it is best for advanced levels. Here you will find an excellent range of 2 line kites for beginners along with the Skyriders directional learner board. For the more advanced they also have a good selection of Naish and North 4 line kites and a nice selection of boards for all levels of kitesurfing expertise.
We particularly advocate their 'buddy system' where students are always buddied up with another student of similar kitesurfing standard so that you can learn off each other and always have someone looking out for you from the beach to assist in landing the kite etc..

Accommodation
& Centre Details |
| |
When selecting hotel accommodation in Tarifa, the main thing to consider is whether to be in town and close to the bars or close to the beach and the wind and kitesurfing. If you stay in Tarifa town (Canas Apartments & Casa Amarilla) you will not need to drive (or take taxis) in the evenings. During the day you will need to drive to the beach. If you stay at Hotel 100% Fun, you can walk to the beach and Club Mistral at Las Dunas. It is 8km to town and so transport is needed to get there. In July and August there is a regular bus into Tarifa that stops at all the hotels and camp sites.
We offer a wide range of hotels and accommodation in the region, please call and ask for details for the most suitable option. |
