LazyKite Reviews
EXCELENTE A base de 459 reseñas Publicado en Google Fernando Álvarez29/06/2026 Una experiencia muy buena y se aprende mucho de técnica y manejo del kitePublicado en Google Olaf Furtaj29/06/2026 Great kite surf school. Really nice people.Publicado en Google Sergey Shomin27/06/2026 My 4-day course was absolutely fantastic! My son and I trained at the Lzykite school. Alessandro stayed in touch the whole time and responded to every request very quickly. Our instructor, Francesca, was extremely professional and composed. Huge thanks for the perfectly organized work! I highly recommend it!Publicado en Google / Jojo /27/06/2026 We had booked Alessandro's accomodation as well as three lessons in advance. The accommodation was wonderful and right next to the center of Tarifa. Love goes out to our kitesurfing teacher Francesca! Thanks for teaching us so much, being patient and straightforward, pushing us in every lesson, and most importantly, making us feel safe every step of the way. With you we always knew we were in good hands. 3 days is a definitely tight schedule for becoming independent. I'd recommend booking more lessons in advance/planning more time in Tarifa. We added more lessons as well, which was easy and super straightforward; and we might continue with a few more lessons at home. Overall, this was a challenging and incredibly cool experience. Recommended to everyone who is looking for an exceptional vacation!Publicado en Google Mattia Reggente23/06/2026 The instructor Mattia was the best instructor I’ve ever had! With close to 20 years of kite experience he was able to give really valuable advice that helped me improve my kite skills. Lazy Kite school is best school to choose to get started kitesurfing or if you want to improve your skills!Publicado en Google Basly Karim22/06/2026 So we did the beginners course and It was an amazing experience the people are so friendly and i want to thank Roberto for his patience with us i highly recommendPublicado en Google Marina Hodgson22/06/2026 Muy simpáticos. Una formación muy divertida y emocionante. En el agua se disfruta un montón. Roberto nuestro formador fue paciente y atento. Matt y sus compañeros muy amigables y atentos también.Publicado en Google Ian B22/06/2026 Buen material y muy buena atención y trato por parte de la gente de alli, recomendable 100%Publicado en Google Sander Kevelaerts17/06/2026 We had an absolutely fantastic kitesurfing experience! From the moment we arrived, Alessandro made us feel welcome — he’s an incredibly friendly and attentive host who was always there to help, going above and beyond (even inviting us for dinner in town, which was a lovely touch). The entire team of instructors shared that same positive energy: approachable, supportive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. A special thanks to our instructor, Francesca, whose teaching was outstanding. She was patient, encouraging, and constantly gave clear, practical guidance that really helped us progress quickly and build confidence on the water. The school itself is set in a beautiful beachfront location with a relaxed, easygoing atmosphere. We also stayed in the Lazykite house right in the center of Tarifa, which was spotless, well-equipped, and ideally located just by the old town. It made exploring the city and going out for dinner or drinks incredibly convenient. All in all, an unforgettable experience. We would highly recommend this kitesurf school to anyone looking to learn or improve in a fun, professional, and welcoming setting. See you next year!
Frequently Asked Questions
What requirements must a kitesurf school meet?
It is essential for the kitesurf school to have approval from the F.A.V. (Andalusian Sailing Federation), be registered with social security, and have accident and liability insurance. Additionally, it must be properly registered as an active tourism company.
It should have a contract with a rescue company and obtain a license from the municipality.
LazyKite meets all these requirements.
License number AT/CA/00259
What requirements must instructors meet?
All instructors must have the official certification as kiteboarding instructors from the Spanish Sailing Federation, IKO, or VDWS. They need to be registered with social security.
Of course, they must have experience, willingness, and a positive attitude.
At LazyKite, we meet all these requirements.
What equipment do we use for your Kitesurf course?
We have the best and most updated equipment from the leading brand Duotone, an undisputed leader in the market. It is essential for kitesurfing schools to have equipment in perfect condition for teaching and renting to their students, ensuring their safety at all times.
Both the equipment we use in our courses and the equipment we use for our kitesurfing gear rental service in Tarifa are renewed every year to ensure maximum safety.
We do not use foils or acrobatic or traction kites at any time during the course. From the beginning, you will learn with inflatable kitesurfing kites, the same ones used by experienced kitesurfers.
What factors should I consider when choosing a kite school?
It is very important to go to an accredited school with qualified and professional instructors.
The quality and condition of the equipment are also key aspects. At LazyKite, we pay special attention to this aspect. We work with the leading brand in the market, Duotone, and we renew our equipment annually to ensure its perfect condition and to incorporate the latest technological and safety advancements.
Is kitesurfing in Tarifa difficult to learn?
Not at all. With LazyKite's progressive and safe teaching method, most of our students are riding independently within 9 to 12 hours of lessons. The key is learning in the right order: kite control first, then the board.
Do I need prior experience to join a course?
No experience is required. Our courses are designed for complete beginners. All you need is the desire to learn and a basic comfort level in the water.
Do I need to know how to swim to do kitesurfing?
Yes, knowing how to swim is essential. You don't need to be an expert swimmer, but you should feel comfortable in the water.
Is kitesurfing suitable for women?
Absolutely. Kitesurfing is a technical sport where physical strength is not the deciding factor. Many of our best students are women, and our instructors adapt their teaching style to every individual.
What is the best time of year for kitesurfing in Tarifa?
Tarifa is one of Europe's best kitesurfing spots thanks to the Levante and Poniente winds, which blow almost 300 days a year. The windiest months run from April to October, but the school operates year-round.
Where is LazyKite School located?
We are located right on the beach, on the N-340 road, km 80, just minutes from the centre of Tarifa. We have our own parking, an equipment washing area, showers, and a beachfront terrace with bar and restaurant.
How do I get to Tarifa? Which is the nearest airport?
The nearest airport is Málaga (AGP), approximately 1h45 by car. Jerez de la Frontera airport (XRY) is also an option, about 45 minutes away. Both have bus connections or car rental options to reach Tarifa.
Can I come as a couple or with my family if not everyone wants to kitesurf?
Of course. While some take kitesurf or surf lessons, others can enjoy our beachfront terrace, the bar, and Tarifa's stunning scenery. We also offer surf courses for the whole family.
Why choose LazyKite School Tarifa?
LazyKite is an officially accredited school (Licence AT/CA/00259) with IKO and FAV certified instructors, Duotone equipment renewed every year, and a stable multilingual team (Spanish, English, Italian). We are right on the beach with all the amenities you need.
Do you have instructors who speak Italian?
Yes. We have Italian-speaking instructors and are fully fluent in Spanish, English, and Italian. For our Italian students, learning in their own language makes a significant difference in how fast they progress.
Does the school issue IKO certification?
Yes. Upon completing the course and reaching the corresponding level, you receive the official IKO card, which allows you to rent equipment and kitesurf independently anywhere in the world.
Is it safe to learn kitesurfing in Tarifa with LazyKite?
Safety is our top priority. We have accident insurance, a contract with a water rescue company, certified and annually renewed equipment, and a progressive teaching methodology that ensures you learn in controlled, safe conditions.
