Three ways to ride

Pick your discipline

One bay, three feelings. Same instructors, same beach, same Atlantic — choose what pulls you in.

01

Surf

The mellow side of the Atlantic

Long, forgiving waves inside the bay — the easiest place to stand up for the first time. Soft-tops, wetsuits and a beach briefing before every session.

The newest way to fly

The spot

Essaouira, all year

Whitewashed walls, ochre ramparts and the Atlantic in front. Essaouira is one of the few places where surf, kite and foil live on the same beach — which is exactly why we teach all three.

Sheltered bay
The bay of Mogador stays rideable in almost any wind: flat water inside, swell out towards the island.
Trade winds
The Alizé fills in through the afternoon, side-shore on a long sandy beach with plenty of room downwind.
No reef, no rocks
Sand underfoot everywhere we teach, and the beach is a few strokes away on every session.
