"Arrived with zero kite experience for the 5-day progression camp. Coach Youssef was so calm and patient. By day 3, I was waterstarting and riding both ways! The riad in the medina was breathtaking."

"The BbTalkin radio helmets are a game changer. No waving arms or yelling from the shore. You correct your kite angle in real time. The Sidi Kaouki downwinder day was the highlight of my year."

"Traveling solo as a woman, I felt completely welcomed and safe from the moment their driver met me at Marrakech airport. The Kite Riders tribe ate dinners together every night. Already rebooked for October!"

Questions & Answers

Everything You Need To Know

Can solo travelers join the camp? expand_more
Absolutely! Over 60% of our camp guests join us solo. You will have your own private room in our partner medina riad, and you'll naturally connect with fellow riders during lessons, rooftop debriefs, and evening dinners.
What happens if there is no wind on a day? (Wind Guarantee) expand_more
We honor our 100% Wind Guarantee. If wind drops below rideable thresholds (<12 knots), hours are seamlessly converted to guided surf coaching at Sidi Kaouki or SUP excursions around Mogador Island. Any unused hours are issued as a credit voucher valid for 24 months.
How do I get to Essaouira from Marrakech or Casablanca? expand_more
Essaouira Airport (ESU) receives direct flights from London, Paris, Brussels, and Marseille. Alternatively, fly into Marrakech Menara (RAK) where our private air-conditioned van collects you directly from arrivals for a smooth 2.5-hour highway drive to our Riad door.
Can I customize the camp duration or upgrade to a private riad suite? expand_more
Yes! While our standard tiers are 3, 5, and 7 nights, we accommodate stays of any length. We can also arrange private luxury riad bookings or oceanfront apartments for couples and families upon request.
