In Tarifa kitesurfing is a way of life. This little town is a global mecca for watersports and is generally recognised as the kitesurf capital of Europe. Graykite Kitesurfing School Tarifa is based just on the edge of the main beach at Los Lances which means you’ll be based right at the spot where all the fun happens.

If you’re a beginner Tarifa’s miles of hazard free beach are ideal for learning kite control and the gentle shelf of the beach combined with the Sea Angels rescue boats makes Tarifa a safe place for kitesurfing lessons even when the wind’s offshore. There’s almost always wind, either a steady Poniente or a powerful Levante so you’re less likely to lose teaching days here than almost anywhere else in the world. The constant wind, miles of white sand beaches and unique climate mean Tarifa is an amazing place to learn how to kitesurf.

The flat water lagoons at Los Lances, Valdevaqueros and Palmones mean there’s an ideal location for your first board starts whatever the wind and the variety of riding conditions mean that once you have mastered your kite and board here you’ll be confident to kitesurf independently pretty much anywhere in the world.

If that sounds good to you feel free to ask us a question or book a lesson!

The Tarifa kitesurfing experience is unique. People come from all over the world to experience its intoxicating blend of wild wind, white sand and surf culture. The town’s plethora of surf bars and restaurants means there’s always someone to share stories with over a great meal or a mojito and the range of spots and conditions mean it’s possible for us to offer an amazing range of kitesurfing lessons for people of all ages and abilities.

Tarifa’s wide open spaces, safety boats and flat water lagoons mean it’s an ideal location for beginners to learn how to kitesurf. If you’re starting out on your kitesurfing journey Tarifa’s variety of wind and wave conditions mean it’s the ideal spot to begin your experience and master the basics of technique and safety. For the same reasons it’s a fantastic spot for kids to enjoy their first kitesurfing lessons. To make doubly sure your kids are safe they’ll be physically harnessed to an experienced instructor until both the instructor and student are confident they’re safe to fly solo. It’s the adventure of a lifetime, one they’ll never forget.

If you’re an independent kitesurfer looking for advanced lessons the spots in and around Tarifa offer pretty much the full spectrum of riding conditions which makes it the perfect destination if you want to perfect your jumps and transitions, conquer wave riding or explore the distinct riding techniques of old school, new school or advanced freestyle.

Once you’ve joined us on the kite surfing path you’ll learn to enjoy the freedom of moving with the wind and the joy of nailing a move. Kitesurfing is about adrenaline and relaxation, fun and nature, making new friends and learning to do something amazing. You’ll never forget the experience.
