How would you rate it on wind range for 12st / 80kg rider? it's a lightly used 3.1 model going cheap in Europe 2nd hand - main reason that I'm consideri...

Re: Tarifa - how to get cheap lessons

thanks ridelow for the response about tarifa max, as you said, it must be tough to go against the grain and provide an actual helpful response :D My friends can well afford kite gear but maybe just don't want to pay 50 euro an hour (or more) for lessons - just cause you have money doesn't mean that ...

Tarifa - how to get cheap lessons

Bringing 1/2 friends to Tarifa next week. I can kite already. Any suggestions on how I can get cheap lessons for my friends? (without maybe going through the most expensive options like the schools down at valdevaqueros). thanks.
