Bilingual sport camps in Tarifa

Before the kitesurfing boom started, Tarifa was home to windsurfers. For years Windsurfing was an absolute must in Tarifa. With kitesurfing on the rise the apogee of windsurfing was fading fast. In the last few years we have, however, noticed that windsurfing is making a comeback and young people, especially, are showing an increasing interest in learning this sport. In Lenguaventura we would like to encourage young people to practise windsurf. So, should somebody prefer windsurfing rather than kitesurfing, we can offer a windsurf camp.

Originally windsurfing has its origin in the surfing sport. To avoid paddling, the idea of using a sail, which gives the wind uplift came up, so that the board could move faster.

Learning to windsurf requires some patience and lots of practise. As with all watersports, it is also important for windsurfing to start from scratch with responsible instructors and to never lose respect for the ocean. Once a student understands the technique of windsufing, he/she will be overjoyed, as this sport really needs little physical exertion and there are many options to refine with tricks and jumps.

With Spin Out, the leading windsurfing school in Tarifa, we have the partner we need to entrust our students.

They recommend 2 hours of windsurf lessons per day to obtain an effizient performance. With this consideration in mind Lenguaventura proposes now windsurf lessons during 4 afternoons per week (in total 8 hours per week). An official certificate (VDWS) could be obtained within two weeks. For this option the student has the possibility to join a theory class after the practical part for one hour per day. In this case the total number of classes per week would be 12.

The windsurf classes takes place at the windsurf beach Valdevaqueros. In the windsurfing lessons the required material is included, thus always ensuring that the students get the right windsurf gear for all possible wind conditions.
