¨Tarifa is one of Europe’s best kitesurfing spots known for its strong, steady winds which pushed us to go faster, jump higher, and try new tricks¨. – Stijn Mul

The SpaceX team went on an exciting road trip from the Netherlands to Tarifa, Spain, one of Europe’s best kitesurfing spots known for its strong, steady winds. They packed their vans with kites, boards, and some useful gear from Surflogic, including dry buckets and seat covers to keep things neat and dry.

“We made several stops in France at various kitesurfing spots to recharge and rest from the long hours on the road. When we finally arrived in Tarifa, the wind was very strong and blowing offshore, making it both thrilling and a bit dangerous. It pushed us to go faster, jump higher, and try new tricks. Competing in the local contest at Balneario was an amazing experience too.”

“As we packed up to head back to the Netherlands, we reflected on our adventure. We had seen beautiful places, ridden great waves, and made awesome new friends. The Surflogic gear was with us the whole way, making our trip easier and more fun. It allowed us to focus on what mattered most—enjoying our kitesurfing, without worrying about our gear.”

“On the drive home, we were already planning our next adventure. This trip was packed with fun and excitement, and we couldn’t wait to hit the road again. Until then, we’ll keep dreaming of the wind, the waves, and the incredible thrill we experienced on this journey.”
