The adventure began in Belgium with Matos Kitesurf School, in collaboration with the Matos.be shop in 2014.
Over the years, I developed a kitesurf teaching method based on efficiency and passion, always putting the students’ experience at the heart of my approach.
In 2020, I made the decision to move to Tarifa and create Matos Tarifa, an IKO/FAV-certified kitesurf school, guided by hands-on experience and tailored to the unique winds of this region.
Today, every student who comes to us benefits from over ten years of experience, precise teaching, and personalized guidance, in a professional yet always fun environment.
