In a few words

Discover kitesurfing on the magnificent, unspoiled beach of Essaouira , an ideal spot for progressing thanks to optimal wind conditions. Guided by an experienced instructor (1 instructor for every 4 students), you'll benefit from personalized support throughout the week. Beginners will progress in pairs to quickly grasp the basics: equipment preparation, kite launching and landing, safety procedures, and waterstarts . On average, 5 hours of instruction are enough to master this key step and start gliding on the water. Over 5 dedicated days , your instructor will adapt the sessions according to the weather conditions. On days with strong winds (15 to 25 knots), you'll optimize your practice , while calmer days will offer the opportunity to explore other activities or delve deeper into kitesurfing theory. This trip is designed to combine progress, fun, and flexibility , guaranteeing an immersive experience suitable for all levels. Whether you are a novice or looking to improve your skills, Essaouira promises you an adventure filled with wind, waves and adrenaline !
