Shape Camp Tarifa 5-9 December 2012


At Kite Around we're sure about one thing, what would Kitesurf be without the uncertainty of the wind conditions.
It is the eternal question: Will there be enough wind? Yes? No?
If we add this up to another climatic element, like the rain, kitesurf becomes a unique en complete activity.
There's room for everything, law of probability, pure rush of adrenaline, radical contact with nature,
meeting people from all over the world, different cultures. When all this is brought together, a miracle occurs.
We feel so happy, even if only for a little while. All this said, we're so sad because our friend Dani Alvarez
has not been lucky with his KiteCamps. First one was cancelled due to lack of wind, and the second one because of
heavy rain. Don't worry Dani, we're convinced that next year we`ll be able to organize it and have great fun.
We're very sorry for the people who subscribed and were left with the desire.


We keep on going, in December Kite-Around will be organizing a new event in Tarifa; the ShapeCamp.
 As always, our goal remains the same; providing kitesurfers with a professional and fun approach
 to the ins and outs and a behind the scenes of kitesurfing. You will be making your own board (surf or kite)
and take it home with you. Among other things, you will also be learning about materials, the painting,
 airbrushing, lamination, placement of keels... 


You would not want to miss this!
Taking you to a new level

A chat with Dani Alvarez


Looking forward to our KiteCamp in Tarifa, organized by Kite Around and with the help of Dani Alvarez, last month, we exchanged some impressions with the rider of  North.

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN…I started at the national Kite Circuit, and not much time after that I was called by F. One to join his team. With the motivation and support of the French brand I improved very fast, I won the Spanish Cup in 2008 and the Sub Championship of Spain, I joined the international team… competitions, videos, photos, training in places I dreamt of as a child, and now I am part of the North team. I now have a little more freedom to practice freeride without the pressure of the competition.. 



AS RIDER…I am extremely competitive, this means I work very hard and I don’t stop progressing.
BRAZIL BRAZIL… Mi time in Brazil was amazing, it is a true paradise for kitesurfers, constant wind every day, the eternal philosophy of swimsuit and flip flops, waves, lagoons by the beach where the water reaches your waist, good and healthy food every day..what more can one ask for?? Well, yeah, parties, and we did have some, although the next day we needed to be in the water again to keep on practicing.. I really hope to meet you there soon!!!
