20|04|09 +++ Professional Kiteboarding Test Center Tarifa

Nowadays the range of kiteboarding equipment on the market is huge, so deciding upon which board or kite to purchase is becoming more and more difficult. It is essential that the equipment meets your own personal needs and style, so testing different types of gear is crucial, and will help you to find the best kite and board possible.



SKYRIDERS is happy to announce that we now offer this service in our Test Center at Tarifa. In co-operation with WET, the BOARDS & MORE importer for Spain, the whole NORTH KITEBOARDING range will be available for you to rent and test.

Since proper testing involves riding the equipment in a variety of conditions, from now on our guests will be able to take the gear to any desired spot in Tarifa. If after testing you would like to purchase the equipment, it will be available at very competitive prices, either at the TEST CENTER, or WET shop located in Tarifa town. WET automatically replaces any item sold, ensuring that we always have the full range available at the TEST CENTER.

Jaime Herraiz, perhaps one of the most well known kiteboarders today, is always around and will be happy to assist with any technical advice concerning the NORTH KITEBOARDING Range.

Every guest needs to have an IKO or VDWS Certificate to prove their level of riding. Testing or renting the equipment will NOT be available without a certificate. Those who are not yet certified can obtain a certificate within one hour at the center. For all those who would like to learn or improve their kiteboarding skills, we still offer our well known and established SKYRIDERS teaching program.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Tarifa!
