"Wir waren als gemischte Gruppe in Tarifa: fortgeschrittene Kitesurfer und Anfänger. Da wir aus Gründen zunächst alle unterschiedliche Schulen ausprobierten, kann ich wirklich sagen: Ocean Kite ist die Beste."

"Großartige Kiteschule! Trotz schwieriger Bedingungen im November haben uns Kathi und ihr Team in kürzester Zeit aufs Wasser gebracht. Der Kurs war sehr gut aufgebaut, wir haben uns von der ersten Stunde an sicher und gut betreut gefühlt."
