Kitesurfing in Tarifa? Here's how to arrange your gear smartly and affordably.

Tarifa is a dream destination for any kitesurfer: reliable winds, wide beaches and a laid-back vibe. But how do you handle your equipment? Local rentals are often expensive and unreliable, while bringing your own isn't always ideal either. GoShaka offers a smart middle ground: quality gear delivered to your home in advance as well as a free board bag for your trip. We explain below.

Bring your own or rent on location?

Both lugging your own gear and renting on location in Tarifa have distinct disadvantages:

Disadvantages of bringing your own gear
  • Boardbag needed
    You need a sturdy, spacious board bag that protects your gear during transport - something not everyone has lying around as standard.
  • Logistical hassles
    Packing, lifting, arranging transportation, dragging on location ... it takes time and effort.
  • Risk of damage
    During transport, your kite or board can be damaged, especially if you transfer often or deal with rough handlers.
Disadvantages of kite set rental in Tarifa
  • High rents 
    up to €100 a day is no exception.

  • Limited choice
    in high season, there is often no suitable size or kite available.

  • Obsolete gear
    many rental companies have been running the same equipment for years.

The 3 best spots in Tarifa for kitesurfing

Once your gear is settled, it's time for the real thing. Tarifa has something for everyone; these are our three favorite spots:

1. Los Lances Norte

This is the main spot in Tarifa. It is spacious, clear and perfect in Poniente winds. In summer there are separate areas for schools and independent kiters. It can get very crowded here in the main season.

2. Valdevaqueros

Sheltered by hard Levante and a good mix of flat water and small waves. Ideal for freestyle and freeride. Great for after-hours drinks and chilling out between kite sessions.v

3. Punta Paloma

Slightly quieter than the other spots. Great views, beautiful dunes and room to practice.
