The Experience
Tarifa is home to some of the most consistent wind in Europe. Two distinct systems - the easterly Levante and westerly Poniente - means there's almost always a session. This isn't a rigid boot camp. It's a flexible, immersive experience that adapts to conditions and your personal goals. Over 7 days, we'll have 5 full training days at Punta Paloma and Valdevaqueros.
Teaching Philosophy
The approach is built on understanding movement, not just copying it. After 20+ years of analyzing watersports technique through the Tricktionary series, every session follows a two-track method:
Technical track: Real-time feedback, video analysis, breaking down each movement into learnable steps. We identify what your body is actually doing vs what it needs to do - then bridge that gap systematically.
Mental track: Using NLP-based performance tools to address the patterns that hold you back. Fear, old habits from other sports, overthinking - these are real obstacles that technique coaching alone can't fix.
The goal is not to create dependency on a coach. It's to give you the understanding and tools to keep progressing on your own.
What You'll Work On
- Flight stability
- Transitions (tacks, jibes)
- Trimming
- Spot knowledge (Levante vs Poniente)
- Trick progression (your personal wishlist)
Daily Structure
No fixed schedule - that's the point. Tarifa rewards flexibility.
- Morning: check conditions, brief
- Water time: 2-4 hours
- Video review: analyze sessions
- Group lunch
- Free time: explore Tarifa, rest, optional evening session
Group Format
Small groups of 4-8 riders. Small enough for individual attention, big enough for group energy and shared learning. Every rider gets direct coaching time and personalized video feedback.
Who This Is For
Riders who can fly stably in both directions. Past the early learning phase, looking for expert guidance + world-class conditions.
