Meet Explora Watersports on Essaouira Beach for a two-hour kitesurf lesson with qualified instructors. Beginners learn kite control on the sand, while experienced kiters work on progression or wave skills. Groups share one kite, with a maximum of four people.

“This was a fun experience and what better place to do it than Essaouira, the wind. We took a two hour lesson, basically an intro to the sport. Our instructors were great and we felt very well educated. We did not get in the water, stayed in the sand getting a grasp on the kite. You definitely need more than a one days lesson before you get in the water.”
