About the activity

The constant wind blows across the immense turquoise water of the Dakhla lagoon, creating a world-renowned playground for board sports. The lagoon spot offers exceptional sailing conditions, with a shallow body of water ideal for making rapid progress.

Kitesurfing in the Dakhla lagoon takes on a whole new dimension thanks to individual, high-precision coaching. Your session begins with a detailed analysis of wind and tide conditions to choose the best launch point, such as the famous Speed Spot. Under the expert eye of the team at Dakhla Kite Planet, an IKO-affiliated school, you will use the latest-generation Slingshot equipment. Whether you are in the discovery phase or looking for freestyle performance, the instructor adjusts each piece of advice in real time thanks to a structured teaching approach. This supervision includes a permanent safety net provided by a boat on the water, so you can concentrate solely on your riding.

This coaching session is open to participants aged 10 and over, provided they can swim. The premium equipment (Slingshot kites and boards, harness, wetsuit) is fully supplied to guarantee your thermal comfort and safety. In small private or semi-private groups of no more than 2 people per instructor, you will be given full attention to help you correct your position or make your first jumps. The activity requires you to be in good physical condition to manage the traction of the wing during the 2 hours of actual practice.

The season runs from March to October, when wind statistics are the most reliable in the world. At the end of your session, a friendly debriefing over snacks and drinks allows you to analyse your progress and share photos and videos of your exploits. Book your private kitesurfing coaching at Dakhla lagoon now and take advantage of IKO's expertise to improve your skills effectively!
