About this experience
Why book with us instead of any other Dakhla school:
1. We're a mobile school with a 4x4. Other schools are stuck at one beach. We drive you to whichever spot has the best wind that morning.
2. Small groups. We keep the student-to-coach ratio low so you actually get attention and ride time, not just a slot in line.
3. IKO and VDWS certified coaches with over 10 years of teaching in Dakhla. They know the lagoon, the wind patterns, the local spots, and how to push your level safely.
4. Free pickup from your Dakhla accommodation. No taxi hunting in the morning.
5. Kitesurf and surf in one school. If the wind drops, you can switch to a surf session the same day with the same team.
6. We speak English, Arabic, and French. Pick what's comfortable.

Itinerary and highlights
Dakhla is one of the best places in the world to learn or improve at kitesurfing and surfing. The lagoon is shallow and flat, the Atlantic coast has clean beginner waves, and the wind blows 300+ days a year. We've been running our mobile kitesurf school here for over 10 years.
We pick you up from your accommodation in our 4x4 and drive you to whichever spot is working best for the wind that morning. You spend 2 hours on the water with one of our IKO and VDWS certified coaches.
Beginners start with basics on the beach (wind window, kite control, paddle, pop-up), then move into the water. Most are standing up by the end. If you already ride, the coach builds the session around your goal: upwind, transitions, jumps, waves, whatever you need.
Our goal is to get you to IKO Level 3 (or VDWS Level 5), the international standard for an independent kiter.
All gear included. Bring a swimsuit, sunscreen, a towel. Lessons in English, Arabic, or French.
About the wind: Dakhla blows almost every day, but if your day turns out flat, we'll shift you to another day or refund 100%.
