点评:I was excited though a little nervous about trying Kiting in Tarifa being a novice kiter having originally learned in a Lagoon was keen to start being independent in the sea. Though I had not been in the water for more than a year and had a negative experience last time I tried not in a Lagoon - I tried Essouria and I had not such a good experience as conditions were too much for me and it put me off. I was almost going to give up. When originally looking at Tarifa I was apprehensive about kiting around so many other kite surfers. Pepe took the time to call me and speak to me about my level and what I was hoping for etc. Pepe reassured me I should give it a go - whilst Pepe assured me I would be in safe hands though also explaining clearly that Tarifa is not a Lagoon so it is different and maybe more difficult. Communication very good with Lost Elementos team, they were all so friendly , welcoming and encouraging. I dealt with Pepe, Ivaylo and Saul - who was my instructor - he was very knowledgeable of kiting and conditions and very patient with me knowing when to leave me be and when to step in with the next tip/instruction. Also gave me a break when I needed it but still pushed me to try to be independent. I had great fun, got back my confidence and I loved it, felt a real achievement to kite in conditions I was unused to. Another wonderful learning experience slightly out of my comfort zone supported by a great team. Conditions were trickier for me with many kites, and two different winds to get used to - I only had 3 days but loved each day and felt very good to get back on the board. I was worried about it being too wavy but actually it was fine not too wavy at all. Will definitely be back and will use Lost Elementos again and recommend them to anyone. Thank you for giving me the confidence to get back out there. Storme x
翻译:我很兴奋,但又有点紧张,因为作为风筝冲浪新手,我最初是在泻湖中学习的,很想开始在海中独立冲浪。虽然我已经一年多没有下水了,而且上次尝试时,我并没有在泻湖中尝试,但体验并不好——我尝试了 Essouria,但体验并不好,因为条件对我来说太过苛刻,这让我望而却步。我几乎要放弃了。当最初考虑塔里法时,我对在那么多其他风筝冲浪者周围放风筝感到不安。Pepe 花时间打电话给我,和我谈论我的水平以及我的期望等。Pepe 安慰我,我应该试一试——虽然 Pepe 向我保证我会很安全,但也清楚地解释了塔里法不是泻湖,所以情况不同,可能更困难。与 Lost Elementos 团队的沟通非常好,他们都非常友好、热情和鼓舞人心。我与 Pepe、Ivaylo 和 Saul(我的教练)打过交道,他对风筝和条件非常了解,对我非常有耐心,知道什么时候让我自己做,什么时候给我下一个提示/指导。在我需要的时候也让我休息一下,但仍然鼓励我尝试独立。我玩得很开心,恢复了自信,我很喜欢,在我不习惯的条件下放风筝是一种真正的成就。另一个很棒的学习经历,略微超出了我的舒适区,得到了一支优秀团队的支持。条件对我来说更棘手,有很多风筝,还有两种不同的风需要适应——我只有 3 天,但每一天都很喜欢,回到冲浪板上感觉非常好。我担心它会太波浪,但实际上它很好,一点也不波浪。一定会回来,会再次使用 Lost Elementos,并向任何人推荐它们。谢谢你们给了我信心,让我回到那里。Storme x
