Frequently Asked Questions about our School in Tarifa
When is the best time of year for windsurfing or wingfoiling in Tarifa?
Tarifa is the windsurfing capital of Europe, allowing you to surf 365 days a year thanks to the alternating Levante (strong and warm) and Poniente (constant and cool) winds. The high season (June to September) is ideal for the climate and atmosphere, while the low season (October to May) offers less crowded beaches, fantastic conditions for learning and more affordable prices.
During each class, the instructor will establish a sailing perimeter that students must respect for their own safety and that of others.
Is it very difficult to learn wingfoiling if I have no previous experience?
Not at all! Wingfoiling is the water sport of the moment precisely because of its quick learning curve. It doesn’t require extreme physical strength, but rather technique and balance. In our wingfoiling courses in Tarifa, we start by controlling the wing on the sand, move on to a large stable board, and finally experience the sensation of flying on the hydrofoil. Anyone can do it!
What happens to my lessons if there is no wind or there is a strong storm?
Your safety and enjoyment are non-negotiable. We monitor weather reports daily. If the wind is not suitable for your level (too strong or too weak), we will notify you in advance so you can reschedule your lesson. We will offer you an alternative activity (such as paddle surfing or surfing on the coast of Cádiz) or, if your trip does not allow you to reschedule, we will refund you for the session you did not enjoy.
On which beaches in Tarifa are the courses held?
We are a mobile school to guarantee you the best conditions every day. We teach our windsurfing, wingfoil and surfing classes at the best spots in the Estrecho Natural Park, mainly at Los Lances Beach and Valdevaqueros Beach (or its lagoon). We will confirm the exact location the day before based on the wind direction and intensity.
Do I need to bring my own equipment or wetsuit to the classes?
You don’t need to bring anything other than your swimsuit, sunscreen and a desire to learn. All our courses (private, semi-private and group) include the rental of all the latest equipment adapted to your level (board, sail/wing, foil), as well as a premium wetsuit, helmet, life jacket and civil liability and accident insurance.
How many days of lessons do I need to become independent in the water?
Although each student learns at their own pace, to achieve a basic level of autonomy that will allow you to safely hire equipment on your own, we recommend our comprehensive 3- to 5-day courses (6 to 10 hours). During this time, you will learn how to assemble the equipment, understand the wind, sail in both directions, tack and return to the starting point.
At what age can children start learning these sports?
We have super-lightweight equipment specifically designed for children. Generally speaking, children can start surfing or paddle surfing lessons from the age of 6-7, and windsurfing or wingfoiling from the age of 8-9, provided they are confident swimmers. We also offer special reduced prices for children under 12.
How does the Instagram discount and free yoga class work?
We want to reward our community. Just for following our Instagram account (@windwaterexperience) and allowing us to take a souvenir photo/video of you, adults get a 10% discount on their classes. What’s more, if you book any package of 3 days or more, we’ll give you a free yoga class specifically designed to stretch and recover your muscles after your session in the water.
