About this experience

Essaouira is known as the wind city, and its main beach is where most riders take their first steps. Lessons follow four steps for beginners: kite control, body drag, water start, then transitions and riding upwind, while intermediate and advanced riders work on their next goals. Choose a group lesson (up to 4 students sharing a kite), semi-private coaching for two (one kite each) or a private lesson, in blocks of 2 to 10 hours. Beginners are advised to take the 10-hour package over 3 to 7 days, weather permitting. When the wind is better elsewhere, the school can take you to other spots around Essaouira.
