Lvl. 6 – Tiki
A Tiki is a type of strapless kitesurf board that brings a new dimension of performance and riding comfort.
It stands apart from traditional strapless surfboards thanks to the following features:
The Tiki delivers a smooth and fast ride. Going upwind is achieved through the strong rail grip of the board, providing excellent riding comfort and a significant reduction of drag in the water.
We are proud to be pioneers in the world of Tiki and to offer Tiki camps and lessons all year round in Tarifa.
Ideal for getting started with strapless, the Tiki stands out for its high lift, which tolerates beginners’ positioning mistakes.
This allows you to focus more on balancing kite control and riding.
Riding a Tiki, you’ll discover natural mobility and unmatched fluidity, all enhanced by a smooth and intuitive riding feel.
Made from Paulownia wood, the Tiki delivers exceptional feedback.
Every movement of the board is faithfully transmitted under your feet, creating a unique connection that amplifies both pleasure and precision on the water.
Over the past few years, the Tiki has brought together a community of thousands of passionate riders around the world.
The very nature of riding this board naturally creates a sense of recognition among its users. They affectionately call themselves “chips,” referring to the wood shavings that appear when the material is handcrafted.
A nod to the artisanal essence of the Tiki.
The Tiki also stands as a counterpoint to the kitesurfing industry, which is often heavy and polluting. It offers an intentionally simple design, yet delivers astonishing performance. Even better, anyone with a bit of DIY skill can craft their own Tiki.
Mat, from the Matos school, is a pioneer of the Tiki. Passionate for many years, he is the creator of TK, a new Tiki brand specially dedicated to performance and trick execution.
These boards embody a modern vision while staying true to the sustainable and eco-friendly ethos that defines the Tiki.
Shorter and more agile than their “big brothers” over two meters long, the TK series Tikis, developed by Mathieu, are designed for pure performance: surfing waves, committing to jumps, or riding in light wind.
If you’re already comfortable riding strapless or master the Tiki, join us for a week of 100% TIKI Camp in October.
On the program:
Radio coaching, downwind / upwind sessions, exploring the best spots in Tarifa, and testing different models from the TK series.
