I went to Tarifa with the Animal Academy last March. They were great and George and Rosie will take great care of you. Mind u, if you are learning the waves can get pretty big making it tricky. If you want flat water then probably best go for egypt.

Thanks, been checking out Egypt and Hurgarda looks like it might be the place to go.
Anyone going out mid march??

Hey, yeah Egypt is pretty cool, but have a look at Tarifa too like Dandine says. the weather is nice in March, and there aren't many people about, so you have loads of space on the water. I used highflyerstarifa.com when I went. They (Kev and Lisa) run holidays, or you can just stay with them at their apartment. Really nice couple.
Good luck, happy riding

Remember, you still have to wear a wetsuit their in March. I just took shorts and got a shock. Mind u picked up a bargain on a Ripcurl f bomb wetsuit

If you're still getting into the sport then go to El Ghouna rather than Hurghada - MUCH more shallow water and space to learn in. In Hurgahada there's a small learning lagoon with mucho gusty winds, the rest of the beach is very narrow and straight into deep water. El Ghouna is about 1/2 hour north of Hurghada.
Yep - it can get pretty chilly in the winds in Feb/Mar - take a shorty at least.
