Book a Kite course:
Basic Course
-
8 hrs
-
2-3 days (depending on the wind)
-
in a group of 4-6 people
In the Basic Course you’ll learn all essential fundamentals for a safe start — from key theory and equipment introduction to plenty of hands-on practice in the water. You’ll first master kite control before moving on to the board.
For safety reasons, two students share one set of kitesurf training equipment.
Perfect for anyone with experience in water, snow, or wind sports — or for fast learners who pick up board sports with ease.Intensive Basic Course
-
12 hrs
-
3-4 days (depending on the wind)
-
in a group of 4-6 people
In addition to the Basic Course content, this option gives you 4 extra hours of instruction — perfect for more focused, hands-on practice.
The ideal choice if you have little or no experience in related sports.Basic Courses & Packages
After your course, every minute on the water matters: keep practising independently with a course-plus-rental package. They’re more affordable than booking everything separately, and you can choose freely from the rental pool.
-
Kitesurf Advanced Course
-
4 hrs
-
1-2 days (depending on the wind)
-
in a group of 3-4 people
The advanced course builds on the beginner course and refreshes your knowledge. You’ll focus on mastering the perfect water start and improving your riding technique. During the course, students (usually in pairs) share a kite and a board.
Perfect for anyone with experience in water, snow, or wind sports — or for fast learners who pick up board sports with ease. In the past, we have realised that almost all students lack a significant amount of experience in movement and kite control after a basic course. It is therefore not advisable to go straight onto the water with a board at this point, but to start with body drag.Intensive Advanced Course
-
6 hrs
-
2-3 days (depending on the wind)
-
in a group of 3-4 people
In addition to the Advanced Course content, this option gives you 2 extra hours of instruction as a little more practical training time in the course.

Wind in Dakhla
Dakhla is one of the world’s most wind-reliable regions with powerful wind across the lagoon nearly all year round.
The long peninsula creates a natural wind funnel that accelerates the steady trade winds. The cool Canary Current adds a strong thermal effect, reinforcing the wind almost daily.
High & Low Tide
The spot is tide-dependent and offers a different experience at every water level. At high tide, the shallow, calm water in front of the center is ideal for beginners.
At low tide, the standing area may dry out, but deeper water is always available just a bit farther out — perfect for kitesurfing.
No matter the tide, great conditions await.
Beach Staff
The experienced beach team is always on hand to help with equipment setup, answer questions, and assist on the beach. They ensure a safe launch and landing at all times, and if needed, the rescue boat will reach you within minutes.
