Tarifa is a well known destination for wind and water sports, attracting thousands of international guests every year, who come to enjoy a wide variety of sports, equipment and disciplines.
Even if it is best known for the frequent winds, Tarifa is having many days yearly with perfect conditions for Stand Up Paddling and is admittedly one of the best spots of Spain and Europe to enjoy our favourite water sport.
At Straits Stand Up Paddling Tarifa we take great pride to be one of the first and most experienced stand up paddle tours operators in the coast of Cadiz and we love to show our spot to friends and visitors while riding the best equipment in the safest conditions.
We teach the basics of the sport but also run classes for intermediate and experienced riders.
We also organise SUP excursions around Tarifa, taking you and your group to some of the most amazing locations and beaches of Andalusia. Our excursions are known to bring paddlers to special spots, that one would have a difficult time finding on their own.

It is you who decides the right pace and level of difficulty for yourself and your fellow stand up paddlers,our tour leader will make sure that the conditions are perfect for that day and your group!
For days with more wind we offer down winders,excursions along the coast when we paddle using the force of the wind as well as our muscles.
We start at one point of the coast and we end up some nautical miles further down where the escort vehicle of our team is waiting to bring us to the after paddle spot of your choice.
Down winders add an extra element to stand up paddling, as we use the playful force of the wind, currents and waves to ride faster and more technical. It is a perfect opportunity to not only visit our favourite parts of the coastline but also have a more challenging and enjoyable stand up paddling experience.
If catching waves is your favourite stand up paddling discipline ,our down winders are an excellent option to get to the good wave spots. We know where to bring riders of all levels. Whether it is your first attempts to surf or you are used riding big waves, we will bring you with the help of the wind to an aquatic playground of your dreams.
Ride longer,paddle easier,learn more and play with the elements, with us you can be sure to get the best down winder trip around Tarifa.
