Our personal recommendation:

Mistral has 2 surf centers in Tarifa. Club Mistral centre at the Valdevaqueros Hotel is a suitable spot for surfing beginners and intermediates, and Mistral offers first-rate instruction and rental options to surfers.

The most recent history goes back to the 1950/60's. The surf instructors on Waikiki beach could to call the waves easier, as their upright position meant that they could see the swell long before the prone surfers. It also allowed them to have a better visibility over their group of surfing instructors.

The first part of this century Stand Up Paddle made a return to surfing. Surfers were re- discovering SUP to allow them to keep in shape for the bigger days of tow surfing as well as adding a new dimension to their skills. Standing up and paddling out through the waves is a totally new experience.
Modern boards have come down a lot in weight and current understanding of board design has allowed the large boards to be manoeuvred easily on the waves. Increased board speed, cut weight and Carbon paddles and suddenly Stand Up Paddle Surfing has been reborn. It definitely adds another angle to surf riding and will mean that your time on the water can be greatly increased.

Be careful for congestion problems on the water at crowded breaks. We from Tarifa Holidays would like to encourage a culture of respect and sharing. Ride a few, then let a few pass under your board. Do not steal all the waves. Use your elevated position to call the sets for the other surfers. Use your paddle to head off to other peaks on the beach, which maybe you have not ridden before. It is not difficult to do, but it will mean that the sport grows and is respected by other watersporters.

See yourself as a pioneer of the sport if you are already taking part in Stand Up Paddle surfing at the moment or are thinking about taking it up. Do not be greedy out there and give respect to gain respect.
