We (2 friends) took Kitesurf and Surf-lessons with Ingo. You feel his experience in the sport and in teaching the sport from the first moment on.
He is flexible, very fair and absolutely easy-going, responds to your progress and pushes you, so that every hour is bringing you forward, even though you maybe not realize it at first.
It's best to combine the lessons with a stay in his surf house. It' clean, comfortable and meeting the great and open-minded people there made our time in Tarifa a great experience.

I have spent a week in Tarifa this April and have my lessons with Ingo. I would highly recommend Ingo as he is so passionate and knowledgeable about kitesurfing. Ingo's aim is to teach you how to kite and he will do anything in his power to ensure his students are successful. I can also see that he is so proud to see students achieving their goals. I would defo go back to Tarifa soon and this time learn some jumping skills with Ingo. Thanks for everything man and see you soon!!!

If I could I would give more stars!
Ingo is an excellent teacher with almost 20 years of kitesurfing experience - and you notice that! With humor, patience and sensitivity, he adapts the lessons flexibly to your own abilities. I always felt like I was in good hands and never felt overwhelmed. His lessons are very well structured and the exercises build on each other so that you always feel safe in the water.
The physical basics of wind and kite are also explained, which helped me understand the dynamics of controlling a kite.
Ingo is also very flexible in terms of organization: when there is no wind, he simply unpacks the surfboards and spontaneously gives you a surfing lesson (when there are waves).
Thank you for the perfect kite-experience!

We recently spent five days at Ingo's surf residence in Tarifa and took kitesurfing lessons, and it was an absolute top experience! The surf property was perfect: comfortable, clean and ideally located in a great location close to the beach. Not only the beautiful location, but also the excellent communication and hospitality of Ingo were an added value.
From the first contact, communication was smooth and clear. Ingo responded quickly and helped us with all our questions, both about the lessons and the stay. Upon arrival we were warmly received and we immediately felt at home in the cozy surf home. Ingo made sure everything was well arranged, allowing us to fully concentrate on kitesurfing. The kitesurfing lessons themselves were fantastic. Ingo is a very experienced and passionate instructor who teaches with great enthusiasm. He explains everything clearly and patiently and ensures that you always feel safe, which greatly contributes to a relaxed learning environment. Each lesson Ingo tried to get the most out of our progress, resulting in clear steps forward. His enthusiasm is contagious and you immediately notice that he has an eye for detail. Safety is his absolute priority, which gave us a lot of confidence, especially as beginners. He makes sure you feel comfortable and can learn optimally. Thanks to his personal approach and the nice atmosphere in both the classes and the stay, we had a great time. Ingo’s hospitality and professionalism make this a must. In short, we had a great time! If you are thinking of kitesurfing in Tarifa, we highly recommend the lessons of Ingo and his surf home. A perfect combination of adventure, relaxation and learning from a professional. We will definitely be back!

My fiancé and I have just had 6 out of our 9 hours so far of kitesurfing at dragon and we love it! Our instructor, Ingo, tailors the lessons to our needs and makes sure we are always safe and having lots of fun. I could not have asked for a more perfect experience and introduction to kite surfing, the prices are excellent too. You will not find a better kite surf instruction company anywhere. I'll be recommending Dragon to all my friends

A truly top experience with Ingo. He shows great patience, adapts to the level of the students depending on the weather.
Lots of explanations, he takes the time and was able to find the key words to help us progress quickly. 20 years of experience on the spot you can feel it straight away.
In addition, Ingo has an undeniable human side which makes the lessons very pleasant.
We stayed in his very well located surf house.
I'm not talking about its unbeatable prices with so much quality!
After several years of kiting, Ingo was the best teacher we have known!
Everything is clear, re-explained if necessary and security is top notch.
Flee the business schools of Tarifa which are full of courses!!
We will definitely come back, thank you thank you Ingo, what an experience on this magnificent spot and what a meeting!!

I had two days of kitesurf lessons with Ingo in a group of 4 persons. Ingo is very flexible, a great teacher with a lot of experience and really easy-going. His explanations are logical and for a beginner easy to follow and understand. The communication on whatsapp works perfect as well!
I had a lot of fun and learned a lot in these two days so that I’m really keen to learn more. As soon as I am back in Tarifa (hopefully in autumn) I will take more lessons with Ingo!
Merci beaucoup pour tout ce que tu m’as appris, Ingo! Viele Grüsse und bis bald,
Henriette

Thank you, Ingo, for the amazing classes and all the fun!
I stayed at Ingo's awesome place and had 15 hours of lessons with him. He's a great teacher with patience and a wealth of knowledge about kiting, the history and development of the sport, and Tarifa.
I will definitely be back for a 'biertje' together at the beach bar!

Nothing wrong at all with our instructor, Alex, who was friendly and enthusiastic with us first-time windsurfers.
But the organisation of our lesson was shoddy. Originally we booked with one of the shops in town and were told our lesson would be at 10.30am the next morning, and we would receive a call later that day to arrange where to meet. That evening by around 5 o'clock we had heard nothing. So I called and was informed that the time had changed to 2 o'clock the following day, with the meeting point set for Dragon's other shop on the outskirts of town.
The next day we turned up at 2 o'clock, this time to be told that our lesson was happening at 3.30pm and that we would have to make our own way to the beach, around 10k west of Tarifa. We had expressly told the person in the shop the previous day that we had no car and she said she would pass that message on. So, we had to take a taxi to the windsurf beach and were given a phone number to call our instructor when we got there. A few missed calls and walks up and down the beach and we eventually hooked up with the instructor. The lesson itself was a lot of fun, but Dragon could definitely do with making things a bit easier for first timers.
Also, there T&Cs specifically state No Refunds, and this is printed in two separate places on the receipt when you pay too. As the weather can change suddenly around Tarifa, there is a chance your lesson could be cancelled. They will issue you a voucher which can be used within 12 months, but not much good if you're leaving the next day and travelling home to a foreign country.

Hi Dub, thank you for your feedback. Sorry for the organisation. If the weather change, we have to adapt on the new conditions. And sometimes, if the wind stops for a while during the lesson, the teacher has to wait and the lesson finish later. Thats why you had to started later and he couldnt pick up the phone. When ever we can, we give a ride to the students to the beach and back for free. But sometimes we are all very busy and working on the beach, so we cant come to pick the students up. We dony pay the taxi for the students and its forbiden the water sports in Tarifa town during the summer time.
I am happy everything finish good and you enjoyed your lesson at the end :-) We dont give voucher to the student, if we cant finish the lesson because of the weather, we give the money back now :-) All best and good wind!
