I can highly recommend high spirits kitesurf!
Always super helpful and looking to give you a great kite experience. Alex helped me to ride upwind and keep my pace, together with making smooth transitions. He even helped out with trimming my kite. He is a great instructor and explains everything very detailed and uses the right exercises to make sure your poster is correct.
Next to being great kite instructors, Alex and Ola are amazing people! Super friendly and fun to spend your holiday with.

I recently took a great kitesurfing course in Tarifa and it was an unforgettable but also exhausting experience 😉. The course was taught by a great trainer (Alex). The conditions in Tarifa were ideal for getting started with kitesurfing. Alex was always patient and adapted to my progress. With each session I was able to improve a little bit until after several sessions I was able to glide on the water. The impressive coastal landscape and the relaxed atmosphere of Tarifa only contributed to making it a really special experience to learn and enjoy kitesurfing. Alex and Ola are really great trainers and I can only recommend them both.

I met Alex last year during my first approach to kitesurfing and I decided to come back this year to Tarifa with a friend, to who I highly suggested Alex and Ola for some lessons. They kindly rented me some equipment to match the wind conditions and even attempted a foil lesson. I encourage them to create more online tutorials like the ones they have on their IG page. Great kiters, great teachers and great people to spend time with. Definitely will be back and visit them again next year.

My girlfriend and I met Ola and Alex in Kalpitiya/Sri Lanka and we booked an introduction course to kitesurfing. In the beginning, we were not sure if this sport is for us or not so we wanted to take it slowly. Even though the wind was not always perfect, we got the taste of kitesurfing and we know for sure, we want more...
The experience with High Spirits Kitesurf was just great.
Firstly - the communication/booking was simple, fast and easy. We agreed to give it a try and then extend the course if we liked it, and we did...
After a short introduction and theory with Ola, we started our lessons on the beach and in the water together with her husband, Alex. He knows exactly how to pass his great passion and knowledge for kitesurfing to another person. He's patient and a great observer. He knows when to push and when to stop and always gives you a constructive feedback.
Apart from the professionalism, Ola and Alex are really nice, friendly and happy people, living their passion and sharing it with the others. Just great to be around them and learn from them.
1000% recommendable.

In short; a great kite surf experience in Tarifa. I had private classes from Aleksandra for 4 days on a row for 3 hours a day. Conditions, material and the personal teaching were the best form my experience. Especially the head set makes remote instant communication possible so you are learning while on the water. Efficient way to put all the information to gather and make the kite, board and body work as one .. oh, and don’t forget the mind - the best to think about nothing when surfing the waves with the sun on your face ;) after 4 days was able to go up and down wind and feel sufficient in control (to bad from that one rescue, but part of the process) Please allow your self to get a class from Aleks, you won’t regret.

I do recommend this school. Ola and Alex give what is the most important while learning kite surfing (in my opiniom of course ;) ) - the feeling of safety and at the same time big fun! They are experienced, all tips were valuable and the smile of instructors is priceless :)

If you are interested in fast progress in kitesurfing don’t hesitate- Ola will be your the best choice in Tarifa!
She explains everything in simple words what make you feel the master of absorbing the knowledge.
From zero to second level in 10 hours.
From simple rider to switch-kitesurfing 👧!
Even our friend - dog made a friendship with Ola❤️

HighSpirits owners Ola and Alex are the best teachers to learn kitesurfing.
These great teachers are calm, patient, positive, great observers, motivators and give constructive feedback. Friendly and happy people, sharing their passion on a safely and enjoyable way. Tarifa is a perfect place te learn everything about kitesurfing. Even with the roughest conditions (waves, gusty wind, current) they always make you feel safe. I can highly recommend this family school which prefers quality over quantity.
