As a beginner I didn't know what to expect from my lessons and overall I was a bit worried. Pepe was the right choice for me: a great instructor, very professional and expert but also fun to learn with. I very much appreciated that Pepe carefully chooses the beach depending on the weather conditions and he always makes sure safety measures are respected. I've learned a lot in just a few days: I've also gain confidence in the water and with the kite apart from carefully learning the technique. I highly recommend Lost Elementos: best school in Tarifa! A Plus: adorable dog, Pepa, that makes sure everything goes smoothly ! Cannot wait to Kitesurf again with Lost elementos!…

Ola Shaman Pepe! It was awesome to learn from you! I love the 80% critics and 20% compliments. It was nice to hang with you and nothing was a problem, even when it was completely bad. We loved to join for the party on the beach (heard that from you) and drinks after the lessons. You're good with people and relaxed to wait for the wind with you! We learned a lot from you, sometimes it would be better to give different feedback instead of the same tips over and over again. Girlfriend was struggling very long with the waterstart and me with the riding. Just the "focus on the position of the body" was sometimes irritating since I didn't have a clue what was right or wrong. In the end you were always right, but sometimes you need different tips or try different things to get there. It was great when you showed us stuff on the beach though. Feedback from the beach to the water was hard to understand and very easy when you showed it once on the beach. I think you would be a better teacher if you would pay more attention to details and what it *exactly* is that someone is doing wrong instead of "kite is too high, body is not relaxed, push with the feet". We had an awesome time with you though and that might be the most important. We wanted to have fun, and learn together. Maybe it would have been different if I was alone and really wanted to progress very quickly. I would recommend you/lost elementos 10/10 to others, for a fun but professional learning experience for a reasonable price!! All the best my man, love to see you in the future…

I booked a ticket to Malaga at the last moment and contacted Pepe at Lost Elementos. He was the only one that stepped in right away and made sure he made room for me to do a kitesurfing course. He tipped me in where to rent a car and I was soon on my way. I took semi-private lessons tought by Chris. It was emmidiatly clear that Lost Elementos was by far the best school on the beach as they would not leave their students alone and were always aware about the surroundings. On my last day Juan De Dios was our instructor and I have never seen a more spirited guy than him. Even though I was going through a rough period he made sure that we came out of the water smiling. All these guys are really nice and welcoming and stay after to have a drink with the students. I will definitly come back to Tarifa and then I'll be sure to be more happy myself as well!…

Spent 10 days in the fantastic town of Tarifa (my new favourite place!) I was a complete beginner kitesurfer and had no idea what to expect. Pepe was a perfect choice of instructor and Los Elementos definitely the right choice of school. Just what I needed. Professional but relaxed. High level of safety training and care but a “can do” attitude which pushed me to try harder and achieve more. Great quality kit and kites and varied choice for all the conditions Tarifa can throw at you. Unlike other schools which are tied to a certain beach, Pepe moves the location with the wind, so on any given day the best conditions in Tarifa are accessible. This makes a huge difference as we avoided gusty conditions on crowded beaches which really helps with my confidence and accelerated my learning. In a nutshell...... great guy, school, techniques and kit. I can’t recommend him and his teamenough. I’m a kitesurfer now and surfing on water! Amazing. Completely addicted! Ride on! …

Did a lesson with Pepe to get some confidence ride by myself in a new spot. As a result, was surfing independently in the matter of minutes. Very professional, knowledgeable and helpful instructors with perfect English AND Spanish. Pepe, the owner, used to live and teach in the UK, therefore he really adheres to the IKO standards and approaches the lessons with high level of professionalism while also making sure you are having fun! Also I felt very safe in such a busy spot. The school has new gear and they definitely know the best spots and timings. Basically all in all had great experience and highly recommend the school!! Puppy therapy came a bonus!:)…
