KBC Tarifa

Tarifa has always been a center of the water-sports scene: it’s where the pro-kiters meet and the kite-addicts live but as well where beginners make their first kite-experiences.

Our Team at KBC Tarifa helps you to improve quickly and safely at our spot: Our professional, English and German speaking IKO/VDWS licensed Kitesurf instructors will guide you step by step through your experience in this amazing sport. For both, classes and rental, we provide you with the latest F-ONE equipment in top condition! We recommend you to stay in the Surfers Residence which is located in the heart of the wonderful old town. Here you can also find our KBC-Office.

In Tarifa we have two dominant types of wind. The cool Poniente is coming from the west- the warm Levante is blowing through the Strait of Gibraltar from the east. Depending on the strength and direction of the wind, as well as your personal level and experience, there are several spots in Tarifa and close by, that we get to choose the best suitable from.

Los Lances: Los Lances (the landing strip): this is our homespot. We can kite and teach here with Poniente as well as with Levante. Los Lances is a very wide, long and sandy beach with a lot of space, that gives us very good training conditions. With Poniente the wind blows side-on-shore and there are moderate to medium sized waves building up close to the shore. Levante on the other hand is blowing side-off-shore and makes the water nice and flat.

During the main season, there is always going to be a rescue boat out in the water that will bring you back to the beach if needed. This service (included in all our courses) allows us to teach and kite even in off-shore wind. Kite level: Beginner to Advanced. There are good parking possibilities and a few beach bars that invite you to chill, eat or relax in the sun.
