Excellent beginner lessons
I started with my first Kite Surfing experience in Tarifa and succeeded level two within one week only. This thanks to excellent teaching with Freeride. We progressed quickly every day a d Oli was always patient enough to wait for the best Wind conditions. And there was always enough practicing time with the necessary theoretical input.

Ce fut une première expérience kitesurf juste inoubliable !
Vanessa est vraiment hyper organisée de A à Z.
Un service quasi clés en mains.
De plus elle possède une parfaite connaissance des lieux.
Elle saura vous conseiller sans problème sur les restau, les activités, etc … avec une impressionnante réactivité :)
Pas de vent … aucun problème, il y’a tellement de choses à faire sur Tarifa est ses alentours ! ;)
Relativement au cours, vous pourrez apprécier la rigueur et le professionnalisme ainsi que la patience des coachs !
On se sent vraiment en sécurité durant tout le stage.
Personnellement j’ai eu la chance et l’opportunité d’en profiter jusqu’au dernier moment avec une session clap de fin au couchant … juste magique.
Je ne peux donc que vous recommander de vous faire former par Vanessa, Olivier et son équipe !
Des pros ! En plus … super sympas :-)
Bref j’ai déjà envie d’y retourner :-))

Do it!
Olivier is the greatest Kite instructor I could have imagined. With his years of experience he knows exactly how to each every student to learn kiting super well, safe and quick.
In the beginning it might seem a bit frustrating to start practicing on the beach and then budydragging. But in the water you will feel the true value of every exercise that you did. And in the end the exercises will have safed you a lot of time in the water by letting you drive instead of organising the kite.
Also the mentality is to be acknowledged. Always calm and with a smile on the face.
Thanks a lot to the Freeride kite school for the amzing experience.
I love it and will be back.
Cheers!

Amazing school!
I loved my kite classes with Freeride! Vanessa organises everything perfectly and is always up for some talking and laughing before or after the kite sessions. I took semiprivate lessons and I felt like the teachers were following all my attempts and moves and could therefore correct me on everything thanks to the radio system! I also liked that I changed teachers twice because it allowed me to get different opinions and tips. At the end I was cruising a bit and I want to come back to Tarifa for this great atmosphere! All in all, thank you Vanessa, Olivier, Caro, Mat and Julien, you are amazing! See you soon, Anna🤙

Brillant!
The teachers are very knowledgeable, friendly and patient. They do whatever they can so that you feel safe and confortable with your equipment. There are many different ways which they could explain how things work and what we should do in different situations. They are very quick to respond to all queries and even give recommendations of restaurants and other activities that you could do on non windy days. If you ever go to Tarifa go to Freeride! :))

Freeride is number 1!
Freeride is an amazing school. The teachers are excellent always patient and have a great way of explaining things that helps you progress really quickly. We were taught in all conditions from 40 to 10 knots they make the best of all the wind days. Oliver has a massive amount of knowledge we were lucky to have him teach us. The school is always quick to respond to any emails. If you’re going to Tarifa the wind capital of Europe you need to go with freeride!

Matériel top qualité et très bonne pédagogie
Très bonne pédagogie. Du matériel Naish neuf de la saison. Même si les conditions de vent sur Tarifa sont parfois assez raffaleuses et pas facile, je me suis sentie en sécurité à chaque étape du cours.
Il m'a accompagné dans l'eau lorsque c'était nécessaire pour m'aider en body drag et en waterstart. Chacune de ses explications sur la fenêtre du vent, comment fonctionne le kite et pourquoi repousser la barre... ont été très claire et bien expliqué pour quelqu'un de novice comme moi. Après une semaine de stage je commençais à rider. Il m’aura fallut encore un peu plus d'heures pour arriver à remonter au vent... Mais j'ai appris à mon rythme et j'ai passé un très bon moment. On changeait de plage en fonction des conditions ce qui m'as permis aussi de découvrir de nouveaux spots et de tirer partis des meilleurs conditions de la région.
