So if you’ve been eager to learn to kite, progress your kiteboarding, learn some freestyle tricks or learn how to ride waves, then Radikite should be on your radar! But, first, we got to know Javi (owner and founder of Radikite), and he told us all about their centre.

RadiKite : Your kite school at the beach!

Safety First!

When teaching, the instructors at RadiKite integrate a walkie talkie into their student’s helmets, so there is uninterrupted continuous communication throughout the lesson. Additionally, there is a support boat on watch in case of any students face difficulties once they are riding or unforeseen weather changes occur; the rescue boat can safely bring the students back to shore.

Testimonials

David A – Just like it should be
The guys at Radikite are awesome! Starting from the professional part, good material, good organization, all insurances you should have, monitors, they know what they are doing. They are honest people and won’t rip you off. I wasn’t fortunate with the wind conditions while I was there, and they allowed me only to pay for the hours I did. Other kite schools wouldn’t have done that! Above that, I laughed a lot, had a good time and will always go to see them when i come to return to Tarifa. Thank you, Javier, Iñaki and Norberto, for a perfect time!
Maxime – Loved it!
Javier and his team are great teachers and super nice people to hang out with. The Kites and boards’ qualities are exceptional (in good shape and the best brands), and Radikite is located on the main spot; this is super practical. Communication was easy; I strongly recommend Radikite for courses or simply renting!
Foucauld Peuchot
The first time I arrived on the beach, I was terrified by the wind, the size of the waves and the brightness of the sun… I never had a single kite surf class in my life; I was a white page. Then I met Xavi, the manager at Radikite. He set me up with quality equipment, called one of his best instructors (Gabri) and before you know it, I was riding like it was 1969. After a record 3 hours of class, I was in the water. Thanks to Gabri, thanks to Xavi, and thanks to Radikite. You’re the best guys, see you next year!
