At Tantrum Kitesurf we offer UNLIMITED HOURS KITESURFING LESSONS so as long as you have the energy, we'll be at the beach, getting you on the board. For that reason we believe (and have proved time and time again) that learning with us gives you a much better chance of leaving an independent kitesurfer than with any other school in Tarifa...and possibly the world. Whats more hour for hour we guarantee you'll pay a LOT LESS for your lessons. « less

Tantrum Kite Surf is committed to give their customers the best experience and go out of their way, day after day, to deliver best practice. A delightful holiday that I can highly recommend to...

Highly recommended. Sam and his team are both very professionnal and super friendly. His team mates (Maria, Tim and Anna) are there for you, no matter what, come rain or come shine. They always made sure we would make the most of the day, both in heavy rains and wind gusts or in gentle breeze. Security was a constant priority... More

Great instruction, friendly team & good environment. Really good that you can kitesurf for as long as you want each day (weather & energy permitting), rather than just for three hours, as this means you progress much more quickly, as you get to practice more with good instruction to help you on your way. Thanks.

Went for 4 days of lessons with Tom S (below) and second his comments. The team, including Sam and Maria, were helpful, friendly and patient. The instructions were clear, the kite surfing equipment was in good condition and the apartment was comfortable and conveniently located for the old town bars and restaurants. We were the first school to arrive on... More

Went to Tarifa for four days to learn to kite surf with a friend in March. Sam and the Tantrum team could not have been better, even with great communication before the course. Our instructor Maria was tremendously patient and encouraging with our slow progress (we cannot have been her star pupils), but gave us continual clear feedback and help... More

Thoroughly enjoyed my trip with Tantrum Kitesurfing. From start to finish my dealings with the school were professional, very friendly and helpful and organising the trip was hassle free. The tuition is excellent - instructors are encouraging, enthusiastic and patient and there is a clear focus on enabling clients to progress confidently and safely. Highly recommend this school - personally... More

I can't say enough good things about my experience with Tantrum. The company is run by an English gentleman (Sam) who is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I didn't realize how important it would be for me to have someone teaching me who is fluent in English - kitesurfing is a tricky sport, and I think a language barrier would have... More

Tarifa is not perfect for learning as it gets soooooo busy with other kiters on the lagoon. However, the instruction from Tantrum's Sam is worth going to Tarifa for. I have had lessons in Wales, South Africa, and Australia and the Instructors all kept going over the same dull stuff time and time again and never getting as far as... More

I was a complete novice and not entirely comfortable with doing the whole "kite boarding/surfing" thing. However it was amazing and I really really enjoyed it. The instructors were really patient and very encouraging. And I needed the reassurance as I was not feeling very confident on the land and a little afraid. The only thing I wish is that... More
