| As of 2025 there are several rescue services in Tarifa. It appears that you can buy passes from several of the rescue services that will cover you for several rescues. (Learning kite surfers can get blown off course or not be skilled negotiating upwind and thus sometimes be in need of a taxi back to Tarifa on occasion) | As of 2025 there are several rescue services in Tarifa.

| **Surfski Center - ** We believe that Boyan contracts with [[https://www.searescue.es/|Sea Rescue]] for his safety services. When he is less familiar with his paddlers he may have them accompany a downwind. Usually they are just available to call up if an issue occurs. Boyan has all of his students wear radios for communication on their shoulders and he keeps all of his paddlers within a reasonably close grouping, varying at times depending on conditions and abilities. | **Surfski Center - ** We believe that Boyan contracts with [[https://www.searescue.es/|Sea Rescue]] for his safety services.

| * Emphasizing stability so students can build confidence and concentrate on their downwinding skills, Boyan for a long time put his students almost exclusively in **Epic V8s** and occasionally in an **Epic V9**. In **2023 he expanded his available boats** to include beginner level surfskis from **Fenn and Nelo**, as well as some intermediate skis from Fenn to give students a greater range of choices, more variety to experience and learn, and possibly to offer ski styles and fits that more students may already be familiar and comfortable with. | * Emphasizing stability so students can build confidence and concentrate on their downwinding skills, Boyan for a long time put his students almost exclusively in **Epic V8s** and occasionally in an **Epic V9**.
