AirBock Luxury Kitesurf experience Tarifa and Brazil
For our Luxury Kitesurf Experience in Tarifa, no previous experience is required. We start completely from scratch and guide you step by step through the entire learning process — from your first kite control exercises on the beach to your first independent rides on the water. Our coaches provide personal guidance with maximum focus on safety, confidence, and rapid progression.
Different requirements apply to the Brazil Kite Safari. Since this is an active downwind experience along the Brazilian coastline, you should already have a basic independent riding level. You must be comfortable launching and riding, recovering your board independently (board retrieval), and riding sufficiently upwind to participate safely in the safari. This allows us to fully enjoy long downwind sessions while ensuring safe progression throughout the adventure.
Absolutely.
If you have already taken lessons or gained experience, we will assess your level at the start of the week. Based on that assessment, you will be placed in a suitable group so you can continue progressing immediately.
Already at an advanced level? You can join advanced coaching sessions, technique training, big air coaching, transitions, toeside riding, and other progression-focused sessions.
Our experiences cater to all skill levels. For Tarifa, we accommodate absolute beginners through to advanced riders with tailored coaching. For the Brazil Safari, we require independent riding skills (staying upwind and self-rescue) to safely navigate the downwind coastline.
We believe in intimate and high-quality experiences, so our groups are limited to a maximum of 6 to 12 participants depending on the destination.
We maintain a very low student-to-instructor ratio (typically 2:1 or 4:1 depending on the program level) to guarantee safety, personal coaching, and rapid progression.
Unlike standard schools, Roman offers a complete luxury experience that combines premium accommodations, expert coaching, organized group travel, and full safety support (like jeep convoys in Brazil), creating a community-focused kitesurfing holiday.
We select premium accommodations, including our luxury mountain villa and beach lodges in Tarifa, Spain, and boutique beachside hotels in Preá, Brazil, offering maximum comfort and close proximity to the spots.
For Tarifa, we recommend Malaga (AGP), Gibraltar (GIB), or Jerez (XRY). For Preá, Brazil, you can fly into Jericoacoara (JJD) or Fortaleza (FOR).
Yes, all local transportation between our lodges, restaurants, and active kitespots is fully covered by our team, including airport pickups as scheduled.
We choose the daily spots based on the real-time wind forecasts, tides, and group skill levels to ensure optimal riding conditions and safety.
Our base packages include accommodation, coaching, and logistics. Premium gear rental (latest duotone/core equipment) can be added as a separate package during booking.
Absolutely! Most of our riders bring their own gear. We provide secure storage and transport for all your equipment throughout the week.
For rental and coaching, we use current-season, premium-quality kites, bars, and boards from top industry brands to ensure reliability and performance.
Although our destinations are chosen for their high wind reliability, if the wind is light we organize alternative activities such as surfing, SUP excursions, wakeboarding, or local sightseeing tours.
A typical day starts with a fresh group breakfast, followed by a spots briefing. We head to the beach for coaching, downwinders, or lessons. In the afternoon we debrief, relax, and gather for dinner at selected local restaurants.

We organize lunches at beach clubs or spots, and dinners at curated local restaurants to experience the regional cuisine. Some special dinners are included in your package; others are paid individually.
Most beginners learn kite control, body dragging, and make their first water starts within a week. Our intensive coaching maximizes your learning curve safely.
Many students achieve basic independence (riding short distances and understanding safety) in one week. However, reaching consistent independent riding and staying upwind depends on individual progression and wind conditions.
