The WINGSURF or WINGFOIL (for more advanced levels) is the latest innovation and evolution in the field of water sports. It is an awesome new sport that has grown in popularity over the past couple of years. Wingsurf is the perfect combination of elements such as kitesurf, windsurf, paddle surf and surf.
The beginner level is to start to ride on a regular SUP board and with more experience on a SUP Foil board, while holding a hand-held inflatable sail, which is called a “wing”. It makes your contact with the wing much closer. The posture and the handling behaviour is like in windsurfing and the way of sliding and surfing the waves gives you the feeling of surfing with a paddle board. The sensation of sliding on a board with great buoyancy and feeling the force of the wind through the wing is unique and very exciting.
Every day there is a new challenge on the programme. Tarifa has wonderful beaches and we take great advantage of them and spend a lot of quality time on their white sandy shores with crystal clear waters, organizing outdoor based activities.
16 semi-private lessons over 2 weeks
01 July, 08 July, 15 July, 22 July* 2024
* One week only
Beginners learn with a long board and a small triangular sail. These long boards ensure stability and give the guarantee that the young learners gain confidence. Once a student understands the technique
of windsufing, he/she will be overjoyed, as this sport really appeals to water babies who relish the physical challenge, and there are many options to refine with tricks and jumps.
Students participate in 8 lessons per week. Additional lessons can be added, per week (at extra cost) for those who wish to prepare for the VDWS certificate.
With Spin Out, the leading Windsurf school in Tarifa, we have the partner we need to entrust our students. The windsurf lessons take place on four afternoons a week (eight hours per week) at the windsurfing beach Valdevaqueros. In the windsurf lessons the required material is included, thus always ensuring that the students get the right windsurf gear for all possible wind conditions.
12 lessons per week,
Offered as a one, two, three or four week course

Tarifa is the perfect place to safely learn kite-surfing because of its large beaches of fine sand. Nowadays, even children as young as six years old are able to start kitesurf with the coaching of a certified instructor.
Students follow 12 lessons per week as one of a class of four or two students.
The kite surf camp Tarifa in co-operation with the kite surf school Bull Tarifa offers the teenagers kite surf lessons in the afternoons (except Wednesdays and weekends) depending of course on the weather and wind conditions. Bull always uses the latest and most modern generation of equipment and they also design kite surfing equipment in Tarifa. Pupils in the kite surf camp Tarifa always use the most appropriate equipment; given their technical skills, body weight and wind force, for a safe and rapid learning process.
Bull Tarifa is an IKO (International Kite school Organisation) affiliated center, this affiliation means that the school follows the highest international quality standards to ensure efficient and safe kite surfing courses. They have an international team of experienced and certified instructors, using the latest teaching methods, to best enable a student reach independent kite-surfer standard.

The students are divided into FOUR language levels from CEF A1 to B2.
During class time teachers arrange group outings to practice Spanish in daily situations; shopping at the market, buying tickets for an event, requesting information at the tourist office. This forms an important part of the classroom work, focusing on the oral part of the language (which is frequently the most neglected). There is daily contact between the Spanish and international student groups, who participate together in the afternoon activity programme and share dormitory accommodation – to encourage both groups to speak Spanish and English together.
The goal is to enable the students to improve their language skills whilst also learning to respect each others social values. It will be a daily challenge for the teenagers to work together, but it will increase social skills and self-awareness as well as helping develop their Spanish language skills
