Essaouira: 2-Hour Kite-Surfing Lesson

2. Essaouira: 2-Hour Kite-Surfing Lesson

Your kite-surfing adventure starts at the local tour operator’s water sports store. This is where you will meet your guide for the day before being kitted out with all the necessary equipment you’ll need for your experience. You will then head onto the beach where the real fun begins. If you’re a beginner, your guide will begin by explaining to you the safety aspects, and helping you understand the wind. They will also teach you directly on the beach how to fly your kite. The next step is to go into the water to control your kite while your body drags through the water. Once you control this you will move to the next step, which will be getting on to the board to experience your first meters of kiting. It will then be time to work on your posture and stance to extend your ride on the board even more. If you’ve already got some kite surfing experience, the lesson will be tailored to your level. You will be able to explain to your instructor your experience, and receive the appropriate advice on how to further develop your skills.

Totally recommended!! A 10. I had done more surf lessons for beginners before but never one like this. Anass, the teacher, taught us step by step how to get up, first in the sand and then in the water, making sure we understood him and correcting our mistakes, but more importantly, he celebrated each of our achievements as his own!! One last. When we return to Essaouira we will repeat without a doubt PS: the class was in English, but with a very good vocabulary and accent

Loved it. The instructor was friendly, patient, and explained things very clearly. Physically demanding activity, but lots of fun.

For a first experience it was really cool the teacher was serious good vibes not really to do again I liked it too much

Hi! It was fun and good for beginners. The instructor was supportive and friendly. I enjoyed very much!

Ended up having a private lesson and the guide and instruction were awesome!
