Plan your kite trip
Preparing your rider week in Essaouira
Three questions always come up: is it right for my level, which lesson format should I pick, and where do I put my gear? Essaouira's sandy bay, side-shore wind and rider culture make it ideal for learning, rebuilding confidence or riding autonomously.
Mornings suit surf or a gentle session before the thermals build. Afternoons bring kite and wingfoil conditions. The medina stays a short walk from the beach — sport, city and simple logistics in one trip.
Morning — surf & calm water
Bay sessions while swell is clean and wind is light.
Afternoon — kite & wingfoil
Trade wind fills in for progression with BBTalkin radio coaching on kite lessons.
Essaouira & Sidi Kaouki — Two Bases, One Team
Like Morocco's best dual-club schools, we teach in Essaouira Bay and run guided trips to Sidi Kaouki for bigger waves and kite conditions.
