I went through Matos for my second kite course… and I regret not having done it with them for my first one!!! Everything was perfect from start to finish: the organization of the lessons, the spot, the rates, the modern and technical equipment… with a special mention to my amazing instructor: MATHILDE! Pedagogical, patient, passionate, smiling, and very encouraging. The BEST!! If you can take private lessons, even better. Go for it with your eyes closed — you’ll see yourself progress very quickly 🪁

After spending 15 days in Tarifa training, where I had the chance to get to know Mathéo and see him teach, I highly recommend this wonderful kite school. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to perfect your skills, you’ll find tailored instruction suited to your level, with an engaged, always-smiling, tri-lingual instructor (French/Spanish/English). A true reference, with excellent knowledge of Tarifa’s conditions, both meteorological and cultural. A great encounter and many memorable moments shared. Chris
