Essaouira, Morocco, is a paradise for kitesurfing enthusiasts, offering ideal conditions that attract both beginners and seasoned riders from around the globe. With its strong winds, beautiful sandy beaches, and rich cultural heritage, Essaouira is the perfect blend of adventure and exploration. Whether you’re new to kitesurfing or a seasoned pro, here’s everything you need to know about riding the wind in this vibrant coastal city.
Why Essaouira Is Perfect for Kitesurfing
Essaouira is often referred to as the “Wind City of Africa,” and for good reason. The trade winds that blow consistently throughout the year make it one of the best kitesurfing spots in the world. From April to October, the Alizée winds sweep across the bay, providing steady conditions that are ideal for kitesurfing. During the peak season, winds can reach speeds of 25 to 30 knots, making the waters come alive with colorful kites dotting the horizon.
The expansive sandy beach offers plenty of room for kitesurfers to launch, practice, and ride comfortably. With shallow waters and gentle waves near the shore, it’s also a great spot for beginners to get a feel for the sport. More advanced riders can venture farther out for larger swells and more thrilling rides.
For more information on kitesurfing lessons, visit Kite and Surf Essaouira.
If you’re interested in guided trips and downwinders, check out the details on Kite and Surf Essaouira’s downwinders page.
You can also rent high-quality kitesurfing equipment at Kite and Surf Essaouira’s rental page. Essaouira’s schools have modern gear available for rent, ensuring that you’re equipped to take on the winds in a safe and exciting way.
The Best Spots for Kitesurfing in Essaouira
The main kitesurfing spot is Essaouira Beach, a wide sandy stretch just south of the old medina. It’s the most popular spot due to its accessibility and consistent winds. The waves here are gentle enough for beginners but still offer enough power for experienced riders to have a lot of fun. For the latest wind forecast, check out Essaouira Beach Windguru forecast.
Another spot worth mentioning is Sidi Kaouki, a small village located about 25 kilometers south of Essaouira. This area offers stronger winds and more challenging conditions, making it ideal for advanced kitesurfers. Sidi Kaouki’s unspoiled beauty, with fewer crowds and powerful waves, is perfect for those looking to ride in a more tranquil environment. For the latest wind forecast, check out Sidi Kaouki Windguru forecast.
When to Go Kitesurfing in Essaouira
While Essaouira is a year-round destination, the peak kitesurfing season runs from April to October. During this time, the winds are at their strongest and most consistent, creating optimal conditions for kitesurfing. For beginners, June through August is particularly good, as the winds are powerful yet predictable, and the waters are warmer.
Off-season months, from November to March, see less wind, but it’s still possible to kitesurf on good days. Plus, visiting during this period means fewer crowds, giving you more space on the beach and in the water.
Beyond Kitesurfing: Exploring Essaouira
Essaouira isn’t just about kitesurfing; it’s also a city rich in culture and history. After an exhilarating day on the water, take time to explore the old medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site filled with winding streets, bustling souks, and charming artisan shops. Sample fresh seafood at the local port or enjoy a mint tea at one of the many cafés overlooking the Atlantic.
Essaouira also offers other water sports such as surfing and stand-up paddleboarding, and its laid-back vibe makes it a great place to unwind and relax. The city’s music, art, and cultural festivals, such as the Gnaoua World Music Festival, add another layer of excitement to any visit.
Tips for a Great Kitesurfing Experience in Essaouira
- Bring a Wetsuit: Even in summer, the Atlantic waters can be quite cool, so it’s a good idea to bring or rent a wetsuit.
- Book Lessons in Advance: Especially during the high season, kitesurfing schools can get busy, so booking ahead will ensure you get the slots that fit your schedule.
- Wind Awareness: The wind can be very strong, particularly in the afternoon. Beginners are advised to start lessons in the morning when the winds are milder.
- Explore Nearby Spots: If you have time, venture out to Sidi Kaouki or other nearby beaches for a change of scenery and different conditions.
Conclusion
Kitesurfing in Essaouira is an experience like no other. With its consistent winds, welcoming atmosphere, and the beauty of the Moroccan coast, it’s no wonder that kitesurfers from around the world flock to this destination. Whether you’re looking to learn the sport or take your skills to new heights, Essaouira provides the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable adventure.

Simply the best hidden gem in essaouira, clean shop, clean equipment, very accommodating, kind staff and instructors, the surf session was instructive and very fun. Shoutout to hamza who was the best instructor out there, taught me a lot during our short session and never made fun of my mess ups but rather encourages me to hit the waves again. 100% unbiased review. Would definitely come again.
Ayoub toulaoui gave an excellent course. His patience was highly appreciated especially for first timers
Ayoub and hamza did a very great job on our first two sessions kite surfing ! 🏄
The experience was amazing! We recommend this surf school, our instructor Anass was super dedicated and helpful. We would definetly repeat. If you come to Essaouira and want to surf,this is THE PERFECT PLACE!!!!
After a one-hour lesson with Anass, my 9-year-old was instantly up and running on a surfboard. He signed up for another lesson the very next day. Thank you so much!
A week of learning with Ayoub, a great teacher!

Thank you so much!
My partner and I took 3 kitesurfing lessons and we were quickly humbled. It is a difficult sport, but thankfully we had a patient and kind teacher with us; Ayoub really made the experience amazing! Each lesson it was Ayoub and another instructor or assistant helping us so we always had support. Ayoub gave clear instructions and instilled confidence in us. I definitely recommend him, and the KSE team!
Great experience with KSE! A big thank you to Sofian, a truly top-notch instructor: educational, friendly, and super patient. I made a lot of progress thanks to his advice. The equipment is high-quality, and the school is IKO certified, which is a real guarantee of seriousness. The team is honest: if there's no wind, they don't waste your time and always look for the best option so you can progress in good conditions. Payment is easy in euros or dirhams. In short, a serious and pleasant school, I recommend 100%!
The kids are very kind and patient. Their love for the sport and their dedication to ensuring that those taking the classes have a good time and enjoy the experience are evident.
Did 3 days of kiting with Hamza and Abdo. They were super nice, very positive and eager for us to learn as much as we could. Learned to start in 3 lessons. Adding to that, they did a 4 person lesson with only 2 of us and didn't charge more. And weren't stingy about the time. The only criticism would be that on the first day they didn't totally keep track of how much time each of us spent on the kite. Loved it very much.
I only did the rental. The prices and service was superb. My friends did the kite school and they were really happy with the kite instructors. Hamsa and his friends spread good vibes and we're really helpful with everything.
We had a really good kitelessons with hamza. He Speaks good english and explains everything so that you can understand. I learned a lot in the First 6 Hours 🙂
I rented equipment at KSE.
When you go out someone watches you, when you have to change the kitesize, the guys run over and get you the next kite. They are all very helpful and super fun!
My big thanks to Hamza and Ayoub!
You guys are amazing!!!!
If I go back to Essaouira I will go back to KSE!!!!

Hamza and Soufia are great instructors. Would definitely recommend the surf course.
Ayoub and the whole team did an amazing job. I rented kite material for 4 days. It was perfect material, perfect service and a very helpful team. I can just recommend.
Had a few lessons, that were very good. Anass had some helpful hints other coaches didn't tell me and he is very chill. They had time slots for our group. Despite short notice and different levels.
Ayoub is great. Patient and offers good advice.
So is Soufiane. An instructor who will correct all your mistakes.

The whole KSE family always make US feel at home when we spend some days in Morocco. They are great teachers and great people. We are always to be back here. Thanks to all the team, especial thanks to Hamza that is the BEST example of all stated above. Also to Faycel, Mike, Soufiane and the rest of the team. Love you guys ❤️

Amazing experience at Kite And Surf Essaouira! 🏄♂️ The team is super professional and friendly, the equipment is top quality, and the spot is just perfect for kitesurfing and surfing. Can’t wait to come back!
Had an amazing surf class! Hamza and Anas were fantastic—super friendly, patient, and great teachers. They explained everything clearly and gave helpful tips so we could catch waves and feel confident in the water. Fun, well-organized, and a perfect intro to surfing. Highly recommend this surf school!
Incredible 2-hour surf lesson with Abdo who was super nice, educational and what's more he surfs on his head hahaha we recommend 10000%
Great spot, and Hamza was great in both the kitesurfing and surfing lessons!
See you soon 🤙
See you soon 🤙
Hamza and Abdo and Fayssel marhaba and ayoub and Soufiane and 9ar9ob the best kitesurfers! The club is so great, the service is incredible!
Kite and surf school is very welcoming and creates a friendly atmosphere from the start. Houssam is an excellent surf instructor, very professional and patient. He takes the time to explain each step clearly, making sure you feel confident in the water. On top of that, he’s super fun and makes every lesson enjoyable. Highly recommended!
First time and such a great experience. Abdoo has been very accommodating, he kept me informed about the weather and tides a day before hands Dan on the same day. On the first day the tides weren’t the best so he suggested to do it the next day and mentioned the right times on the next day. He had all the patience one needs from an instructor and helped me be able to stand and ride the waves on the first day. He guided me and asked questions with each try whether and which mistakes I made, to help me be build memory of what to do on speed. He took very personal interest in my growth and celebrated each progress I made. I was able to stand in the first hour just because of how he was guiding while in parallel there were students of other schools and instructors for the second day learning the same things I was learning and seemed to be on the same level. The total lesson was 2.5 hours and he wanted to continue further but my body give up because of being less physically active and I had to catchup on my travel to a different city.
I would most definitely recommend Abdoo to anyone who wants to learn for the first time or want to improve their skill set.
One suggestion, I would have for anyone who would be interested in surfing anywhere as a beginner like me is do a bit of stretching before hand and may be for a couple of days if possible and if you do strength exercises, that will definitely come in handy. Enjoy!

I went there a year ago to start kite surfing lessons. So first of all, I wouln't recommend Essaouira for a beginner as the wind is way too strong and the waves are also quite high.
Second of all, if you still do it I would for sure recommend 1:1 teaching.
So we were 2 students and 1 instructor and the lessons were hectic and I felt very unsafe also because of the very strong wind. In the 3rd hour of class I already injured my knee and couldn't walk properly for 3 weeks.... I was left with a very bad feeling towards kitesuefing and the safety that the instructor gave me was questionable.
The beach is also not the prettiest. It's full of camele and horse dirt.

Ayoub is a very good teacher to start kitesurfing, educational and a real enthusiast
We attended a three-day kite course at KSE Kite School with Ayoub Toulaoi. Although we had only limited prior experience, our aim was to become safe and independent kitesurfers. Based on the excellent reviews, we chose KSE, and it proved to be exactly the right decision.
Ayoub is an outstanding instructor who combines professionalism with patience and clarity. He tailored the lessons to our level, explained each step thoroughly, and ensured a safe and structured learning environment. Within just three days, we were able to make significant progress and confidently practice kitesurfing on our own.
We highly recommend KSE Kite School and Ayoub Toulaoi to anyone seeking a reliable and effective introduction to kitesurfing.

A real plus: they come right down to the beach to assist you, inflate your kite, and make sure everything is in place before you take off. You feel supported and completely safe, allowing you to fully enjoy the session.
A perfect experience, which I 100% recommend to anyone who wants to practice kitesurfing in Essaouira in the best conditions!

I did a wingfoil group class two days ago with my brother and my father and we learned a lot, Anass is a really good instructor, he is very competent in English and he guided us thorough our fist steps really well.
We even had help from another of the instructors there who helped us carry the material to the far side of the beach easily, so as not to get dragged by the wind and the currents.
The prices are very competent in comparison to other places to rent.

Thank you to Ahmed and Abdo Baddag for their exceptional kindness! We took 10 hours of semi-private kitesurfing lessons, which I recommend to learn as much as possible in a short time. The advice, explanations, and support we received were excellent; everything is very well organized, and the instructors are very competent.
Although I didn't know how to kitesurf when I arrived, I managed to get out of the water and ride after only 4 hours.
The entire team there is also very nice and welcoming. I recommend this place if you want to learn kitesurfing and water sports in general.

Incredible surfing lessons with Hamza and his team! We went as a family, and Hamza was attentive to everyone, from the youngest to the teens and adults.
We all managed to surf, even though it was our first experience.

What sets Ayoub Toulaoui apart is their patience and encouragement, always making sure I felt confident, even when I struggled. The equipment was top-quality, safety was a priority, and the location was perfect for learning.
Thanks to their expert guidance, I was riding confidently by the end of the course. I highly recommend Ayoub Toulaoui to anyone looking to learn or improve their kitesurfing skills!

Ayoub Toulaoui the best in the world of kite surfing instructors in the world of Essaouira
Great time spent with Ayoub Toulaoui at KSE. He taught us how to ride the wave like no one else, even Brice from Nice can't do that much.
Ayoub toulaoui is the absolute best: he managed to teach me how to stand and begin to kitesurf!! He and his crew are great: polite, so kind and always ready to help you.. even if you are totally new to this sport! I absolutely recommend it!! Amazing experience !!!
Fantastic experience at the KSE in Essaouira! The instructors are super helpful, professional and prepared. I rented the premium material for 5 days, nothing to say: everything was perfect. Every time you go on the beach there is one of them that inflate and prepares the equipment for you. You can decide to change board or kite according to your needs or the wind. Moreover, I got an hour of private lessons with Faysal: it is not only the owner, but also the best big air kiter. I learned so much with him. I would recommend the experience to anyone who wants to do a week of kitesurfing in Essaouira.
Great kitesurfing school with very good prices. Ilham is the best receptionist and Soufian is a great instructor! I will definitely come back 🙂
Great school with a great team. Took a week Kitesurf lessons, Ayoub Toulaoui is a great teacher and got me up and riding. Lots of fun and they are great with the kids too. Would recommend.
I did my lesson with Abdo, I had a really good experience. Nice quality, organization, and professionalism!!
Also Lativa was very kind and profesional.
I really recommend this kite school!!

Very good spot to learn to surf. Very friendly and helpful instructors, especially Hamza who teaches very well 👍
Ayoub Toulaoui, thank you again for everything, as well as to the whole team! You are all amazing. Board rental (latest Duotone Twin model for me, unbeatable prices) and great kite instructors for my partner and my friend (semi-private). What a service, a pleasure, great management and instructors. Nothing to say except see you soon 🙏👌💯
Had my first ever surf lesson with KSE and loved it! Anass was an amazing instructor — super friendly, clear, and really supportive. He made it easy and fun, an awesome intro to surfing. Highly recommend, especially with Anass!
First surf lesson here in Essaouira with Anass and it was such a beautiful experience!
He’s super sweet, kind and really took the time to explain all the basics and help us put them into practice. I had so much fun and totally recommend him to anyone who wants to try surfing!
Round two today, let’s go

Ayoub, Abdo, Latifaa, Hamza, Faisal and Ayoub Baddga are the perfect team to do surf in Essaouira!!! So charming and welcoming, an incredible experience ✨
Great experience, a great time to spend with friends or family. The instructors Hamza and Ayoub, with whom we were, were very kind and explained things very well. I recommend it.
Great team, very attentive to our children. Tailor-made surf lessons! Very affordable prices and with modern equipment. 5 stars!!
A good price, everyone was friendly and accommodating, and on the best side of the beach for the waves! Thanks to Abdo and all the guys!
Hamza helped me progress a lot during my course, he was very educational and reassuring. I will come back!!
Hamza is a very kind and competent teacher, I made a lot of progress during these 2 hours of lessons, I recommend 👍🏼

My cousins and I took a class one afternoon and we all loved it. We were well supervised and helped. The instructors were attentive and eager for us to progress. It was great, thank you very much.
We had a very clear, precise, professional and enjoyable course, which allowed us to quickly catch waves. Magnificent for a first time. Thank you Hamza! (2 adults and 2 children)
Great experience! The staff is friendly, coach Abdou is TOP, nothing to complain about. I'll be back.
We came in 2024 and 2025 for classes with Abdoul. Great experience for beginners and more experienced students alike! We recommend him 100%.
We had such a great time learning to surf with ayoub and abdo! So much fun!!
I wanted to join a course but there had not been enough. So I had got lessons at ANASS about a week. I was almost total beginner at wing-foiling a now I’m flying. OK just straight but still…not bad for a 50+ lady. Anass was patient enough, sometimes demanding and always motivating at the end of the lessons. A good mixture to get the inner push.
Great place for kitesurfing lessons!!!
PS: I recommend Ayoub (he's the best) 🤙

Wonderful experience! Very nice and patient staff, in only One lesson I learned a lot!!
Soufiane was a fantastic instructor for me and my 16yr old daughter; he was kind, patient, and spoke both English and French. We were successfully surfing after two hours with him.
Amazing experience at Kse with the instructor Ayoub he make it everything easy thank you so much for all the team
I loved my classes with Ayoub, always very patient, encouraging, and giving the best advice to progress. In 5 days, I improved every day! A very nice team, I recommend!
A lot of fun learning to kite surf for the first time. Thank you Soufia for a wonderful experience!!
Soufian is the best - very patient and great coach all around! Had a great time, thanks!
Soufiane was a very good instructor, assuring safety and fun times on the beautiful kite spot
A wonderful one-week stay at KSE. A wonderful spot next to the best kite spot in Essaouira. Great facilities, great location, new equipment.
The staff is fantastic. Thank you, Abdou, for your lessons. A superb instructor. Knowledgeable, well-taught, with excellent advice, keeping the student motivated by always pointing out strengths, improvements, and constructively addressing weaknesses. And all with a good attitude and a great sense of humor. A 10, Abdou!
We'll be back!

I wanted to try out some kites to see which I would buy. The school was very helpful explaining the different types of duotone kites. They helped me launch and land at the beach and provided great vibes throughout. I'll definitely be back!
This was both my first time in Morocco and first time surfing. Hamza was my instructor and he did a great job of breaking down the process of surfing step by step, by the end of the session I was able to confidently manoeuvre on the board including standing and body 180s. Hamza was also incredibly hospitable and gave us lots of advice and best places to eat in essaouira. Would definitely recommend!!!
I loved it. Hamza is a great teacher! Patient, good explanations and funny, great moments full of sensations guaranteed! 😎
The best school I was with ayoub he’s the best instructor I had in my life
Excellent overall surf school. Hamza was a brilliant instructor, and taught the basics well. Would recommend this school to any other first time surfers.
Perfect location to the surf for my beginner lesson. Anass was an excellent teacher and truly appreciated all of his guidance and tips. Gave me the basics to feel confident renting a board on my own.
Great surfing experience, a great instructor, good advice that helps you progress. Thanks to Ayoub
We did an introduction to surfing with Abdo and Hamza, they were very kind and they taught us very well how to surf, I recommend 100%!!
I took a surfing lesson with Ayoub this morning and it was amazing! I was an adult beginner and thanks to Ayoub's great advice and encouragement I took the plunge and succeeded! It's all there: it's professional, fun, dynamic and sporty and the beach is magnificent. Thanks to Ayoub and the whole team and see you soon!
Did 4 hours learning kitesurfing with Hamza, he was a great teacher and it was great experience. I would definitely recommend.
abdulrahim is a spectacular instructor, great coaching skills and noticing the small details, i will use them for all my surf and kitesurf needs in essaouira
I’ve been here twice, and I truly enjoyed both experiences. The people are incredibly friendly, helpful, and full of good humor. They make you feel like part of a family, not just a visitor. Baddag and Ayoub, in particular, stood out — they are not only funny but also genuinely kind and always ready to help. Their warm hospitality made my stay even more memorable. I’m definitely looking forward to coming back again!
Also they give a good discount

At KSE, they guided me with great patience in my first kitesurfing sessions. The entire staff is excellent and friendly. They speak fluent English and French. The atmosphere is very good.
I would particularly like to give a warm shout-out to ABDO (Abdoul), who has been my direct instructor for these past few hours. I can't recommend him enough. Cool, pleasant, patient, tolerant, and of course as knowledgeable about kiting as if he'd had a kite and board since birth (which is most likely the reality). His advice and explanations have led me to complete quite a few laps on the board, even in fairly rough seas. A genius.
Younes, Ilias, and Ayoub have also been very helpful.
Thank you so much! I'll be back!

Hello,
I came to Essaouira in May 2025. I didn't bring my kite gear. I went to KSE and found a very professional team.
I arrived in my "underpants," and in 10 minutes I was ready!!!
A suit that fit my size, a harness, a kite of the year, and a board for a very reasonable price.
In short, in 20 minutes, you're on the water, kite inflated by a member of the team who helps you take off safely and land. While you're sailing, the team photographer takes some photos of your work with a super zoom.
KSE is super well-equipped with equipment, and there are clean changing rooms and showers!!!
I thank the entire KSE team who were attentive throughout my stay.
WELL DONE

I had really a great Time with the kse team thank you for all guys and specially hamza
Great tuition - Sofian and the whole team were great. Very flexible on timings throughout which helped especially in fluctuating wind!
Had an amazing time. Mike was brilliant - helped me become independent in a week!
First experience with KSE! I was lucky enough to get two private lessons for the same price as a group lesson, given the low attendance. Anass was very patient and above all, cheerful, despite the unfavorable conditions. Thanks again, I recommend!
We haven't even left yet and we already want to come back! Here, it's family-friendly, caring, professional, and the guys are all great! Big up to Hamza, a top-notch doctor and professor 🙏🏼😽
We'll be back soon

Really great kite school, only instructors, good atmosphere and good teachers. Abdou was an excellent teacher for maximum progress and without any hassle in somewhat difficult conditions, thank you 🤩 🫶
If you want to discover kitesurfing in Essaouira, head to KSE. My instructors, Ayoub and Hamza, guided me through this discipline with pedagogy, patience, and kindness. Their wise advice helped me get out of the water after 8 hours of lessons in intense conditions.
All this in a warm and friendly atmosphere 🫶🏻 a real BANGER
(Even the store's playlist is worth the detour 🎵)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Kitesurfing with Kite and Surf Essaouira
Kite and Surf Essaouira was an unforgettable experience! The spot is perfect — steady wind, wide beaches, and stunning views. The gear was high-quality and well maintained.
The team was outstanding: super friendly, professional, and always focused on safety while keeping the vibe fun and relaxed. The energy of the place is just magical — we felt welcomed from day one.
Can’t wait to come back. Totally recommended! 🌊🏄♀️✨

Believe all the great reviews – this team are as good as they say! Better, actually. We came to Essaouira as complete kitesurf beginners and stayed for five weeks. Abdou and Hamza were our main teachers but everyone was involved at some point along the way and Faycel, the manager, always ensured everything was perfect. They were incredibly patient and incredibly skilled – and, importantly, have an incredible approach to learning and life, always with a smile on their faces and looking out for you and each other. Every day was fun even when it was tough! Essaouira is one of the hardest places you can learn because there can be waves and gusty winds but that sets you up for wherever you go next. This school is special. They became more than kitesurf teachers, they became friends. What more can you ask for?
I just had my first kitesurfing lesson with Anass. He was fantastic, super clear and professional. It helped me feel comfortable and quickly understand. I highly recommend him! Thanks a lot! I'll be back tomorrow.
UPDATE: Day 2 with Baddag, another great instructor, and I recommend him 1000 times over!
This club is the best in Essaouira; it's family-friendly, professional, and competent.

I had never done a surf kit before, yet I LOVED IT 🤩🤩🤩🤩. Our instructor Ayoub was amazing, thanks to his patience, his professionalism, his kindness and his good humor, I had an INCREDIBLE time. He taught us step by step how to handle the sail, the board, the mistakes to absolutely avoid and even how to overcome the fear of waves which was my case 🙊🙊😝
The equipment was new, clean, and immaculate, nothing to complain about. The club staff was very helpful, professional and always with a smile on their faces ✨In short, one of the best experiences of my life, I highly recommend it whether you are a beginner or a professional. I will come back again and again, thank you a thousand times 🥰🥰🥰

Anasss is an awesome instructor, he really takes his time to teach you every step and aspect of kitesurf. Thanks Anasss for the lesson and the time you took to teach me, i’ve really enjoyed! Nevertheless, the whole crew of KSE are super friendly and professional.
We had an amazing kite session with our guide Soufiane!! He explained us every step very well and made us fall in love with kitesurfing 🥰 thanks for a great session!
Soufiane Mouvaise helped us through our initial Kite lessons. Really enjoyed it. He was patient and helped us with all tricks and tips. We will be back soon!
Very good surfing lessons, progress is rapid from the start of the session. The atmosphere is great. Lots of laughs, personalized advice and a great team. I recommend 100%!

We rented equipment with my partner and also took lessons with Abdul – everything was amazing! Abdul explains things very clearly, is super patient, and creates a great atmosphere during the lessons. The vibe at the rental shop is also fantastic – everyone is very friendly and helpful. The equipment is in excellent condition, well-maintained and not worn out. Even if you're just renting without taking lessons, they help you carry the gear to the beach and get started. There's always someone from the school on the beach, so you're never left alone. The prices are very reasonable too, which makes it even more appealing. Highly recommended!
Hamza and Abdo were super helpful and got everything we needed - very friendly too, recommended
Amazing Kite shop. Hamza and Abdul were very helpful - great guys, great kite school, great shop.
Wow, what an absolutely amazing experience! From the moment I hit the waves, the energy, the fun, and the pure joy were off the charts! Ayoub the instructor was beyond incredible—super friendly, respectful, and he bring so much positivity to every session. Learning with him felt effortless, and his enthusiasm made every wave even more exciting!

Very nice people and very good lessons. Had a private kite lessons from Soufeane, nice guy, was really chill and communication was great. Would definitely recommend the whole school; my friends who tried surfing had very good experiences too.
Great restaurant!! Breathtaking view of Essaouira Bay: you can see seagulls and waves (surfboard rentals available). Ask for Sofiane's "dolphin discovery" excursions to learn more about these marine mammals.
I had the best experience trying surfing for the first time! All staff was super friendly and my instructor Anass was a cool guy and really good teacher. Couldn't be better 😊

Thank you to the team for these two hours.

Will definitely take more lessons at KSE if back to Essaouira 🙂

Great experience at Kse! The storage is super practical, right in front of the beach. The team is top notch, always attentive: they help us transport the gear, inflate it... all that's left to do is get in the water! A big thank you to Soufiane and Abdou for their valuable advice and their great welcome. I recommend with my eyes closed!
I recommend Soufiane for Kitesurfing lessons! It's been 5 years since I've done one, we covered the basics in 2 hours to be able to redo the edges at the end! Soufiane is very educational, thank you very much and maybe see you soon!
Great equipment and super nice staff. Ayub was super helpful judging the conditions to provide the right equipment. Would totally recommend 👍
We had an amazing week with a group of 10 beginners taking kite surf classes at KSE. Amazing teachers and super great atmosphere! They were super accomodating and flexible, price is good, so definitely 5-star experience ⭐️
Would recommend to anyone, both beginners and more advanced, they really tailor the level of the class to you and make you feel super welcome. Thanks a lot to my teacher, Sofian, and the whole team for a fantastic week!!

Merci Ayoub et à bientôt !
Merci Ayoub et à bientôt !
Great school with friendly and supportive teachers. Ayoub learned me the kite technique very well, and I could stand up after 2-3 days as a result. And nice vibes, can only recommend.
Great place, we did 2 hr surfing lesson. Great equipment and friendly instruction, would highly recommend
Absolutely phenomenal group of people. Incredible service, genuinely friendly and caring staff, and everything you need for a quality kitesurfing experience in Essaouira.
I rented gear from KSE and ended up dislocating my shoulder fairly quickly into my session on a routine fall. Absolutely no fault of the gear or them, and this is a very uncommon kitesurfing injury. Just a freak accident.
However, the KSE team was incredible. They arranged for a traveling doctor who had been renting gear from them to come see me. He gave me an initial diagnosis, but because it was my first time dislocating the shoulder, he suggested I go to the hospital to confirm there was no fracture. The KSE team recommended a specific hospital accustomed to quality care, and one of the employees drove with us to help translate and ensure I was looked after.
I was in the hospital for 4 hours, and two KSE employees stayed the entire time. They helped translate, speed up the process, and ensure we avoided paying illegitimate fees. They were invaluable and made me feel way more comfortable that I was being looked after. A third employee even joined near the end to wish me well. I cannot thank them enough.
I realized that in the commotion of the injury I never paid for my rental. When I went back the next day, everyone was extremely welcoming, and they refused to accept my payment, even when I insisted.
KSE is right next door to two other kitesurfing shops, and there are plenty of options in Essaouira. But there are few to none in the entire world that will offer this level of caring staff. It speaks to an incredible culture fostered at the shop.
Thank you again to the full KSE team!

Nice spot, Super friendly staff, we had a private lesson from Hamza with our kids of 5, 9 and 10. We came back the day after to have Some more surfing. We recommend!
Very cool surf shop, the cheapest in Essaouira, the team is great (special mention for Hamza)!
Lots of love ❤️ 🤙

Kitesurfing at KSE was just a really great experience. Abdo explains things really well and you can tell he has a lot of experience. For me as a beginner it was really great and I would choose the school again at any time.
I am very convinced of the kite school. Soufiane is a really good teacher and I managed to stand on the board for a few meters at the end of the third lesson. Everyone at school is really nice and relaxed and speaks English and French well.
I actually came to Essaouira to learn kitesurfing. Because there wasn't enough wind for two days, I tried surfing and took a double lesson with Abdo. Everything was explained very well to me step by step 🙂 He and everyone else at the surf school are really very likeable. After the double lesson I was able to continue practicing on my own and continued to rent surfboards. I can only recommend Abdo and the whole school in general.
Really enjoyed myself! Abdul is a great teacher and very reasonable prices 😊
Abdo was an incredible teacher. I managed to kite surf in the water in 3 to 4 days with them. Highly recommend!
Great guys here! It's my second time coming here. Very good instructors. The equipment is top notch. Today they gave me a brand new kite 😄 very competitive prices! Highly recommend
Very good thanks to Hamza who was our instructor thank you again I recommend
A great week! Nothing negative to say about this center. Excellent teaching, well organized. Our 2 instructors, Abdo and Baddag, showed patience to teach us the kite as best as possible and sometimes in difficult conditions (lots of wind and therefore waves, little wind).
A little nostalgia when leaving the center because we had a great time in a crazy atmosphere!
Choukrane and see you soon guys!

Hello team!
1 week of kitesurfing with instructors Abdo (a real gem, this young man)
and Baddag, who were great.
The instructors are very good teachers, attentive, and above all, they have a great joy of life.
For learning, the KSE school is top-notch.
Nothing to say about the quality/price (probably the best in Essaouira).
I recommend this school with my friends.
Nothing but fun all week and great progress.
Happy kitesurfing, everyone! ✌️🏄♂️

An exceptional week of kiting at KSE, a big thank you to Abdo and Baddag our 2 instructors who accompanied us on each session, very educational, big progress with tailor-made support, good sensations, perfect school with a great atmosphere!
In this area you will not find any other kiteschool with this very good rental deals. Prices are cheap and the material is in perfect condition. You will get Duotone kites and can get charged by hour. Staff is also friendly and helpful- highly recommended! 🙂
Hamza is really a great Surf teacher. Welcoming, smiling, with humor and above all with a lot of technique. The courses are really affordable in terms of price and the equipment is very good.
Last weekend I tried my first surfing lesson and I couldn't be happier. Abdo was my instructor. I want to thank him for his dedication, commitment, and professionalism, as well as being a lovely guy. I couldn't have imagined that at 53, I'd already be able to stand up on a board in my first lesson. I'll be back soon to keep improving. Thanks 🫶🏻
Hamza is the best instructor in the world!!!
But of course I was not pushed to write that 😜
Really nice school, best prices I ever had for rental, great service, teachers and infrastructure (showers, WiFi, place to rest)
Highly recommended!

Great class with Soufiane, very professional!

I had kitesurf lessons from Abdul which was really good! There was a good balance between teaching and me learning how to kite and make decisions on my own. Would highly recommend!!
The team at this kite school really takes care. Whether for rental or supervised navigation, members are always on the beach to participate in the preparation of equipment, give advice and help whenever necessary. Enough to build confidence and progress! The club offers good equipment and is located right opposite the spot. Go there with your eyes closed.
The best team for your rides ! Always the smile, kitesurfing with them make you progress technically and humanly, thank you for all and see next year 🏄♂️🪁
Great experience at KSE! The team is great, Soufiane and Ayoub are great teachers, I recommend it with my eyes closed!

He had a lot of very good tips and a lot of patience.
The KSE school has good equipment and it was fun to rent the equipment.

We once again had the pleasure of renting surfing equipment from Kite and Surf Essaouira (KSE) and were once again thrilled. The service is excellent, the team is incredibly friendly, and the material is of the highest quality. Abdo convinced us with his warmth and professionalism. Our decision to return after last year's visit turned out to be absolutely right, absolute recommendation.
Hamza was a great teacher and very kind. You also have storage for your things and showers ❤️
I recommend this club! Very good teachers. They listen and above all give very good advice! I thank Soufiane and Ayoub for their teaching! Don’t hesitate to come to this club, you won’t be disappointed!
Amazing surfschool, very professional, really good teachers and everyone is very friendly.
Thank you to the entire KSE team and in particular to Soufiane, Abdo and Ayoub for their professionalism and quality Kitesurfing lessons
I had a wonderful Kitesurfing lesson with Ayoub. He is an excellent, patient teacher, very clear and friendly - I couldn't have imagined someone better to teach me about this new water sport! We had taken two hours of group lessons and finally extended it for 3 more hours in the afternoon because we were making so much progress and having a blast! Thank you for this great experience🤙
First surfing experience! Hamza and Abdo are super helpful and very good at teaching the basics and making you immediately understand how to tackle the waves!
Top experience! 🤩

Perfect, the instructor Hamza was great, a real one, I really recommend great experience
We are a family of 4 and booked a 2 hour cours. We had a wonderfull time: the coach, Abdul, was with us in the water the whole time. We absolutely enjoyed it.
Mr Ayoub is a committed instructor and he is warm. Great fun doing this day of kitesurfing with the Morocco a bicyclette team.
Very good kitesurfing lesson with Abdo and Hamza, they are very professional, patient and teachers, it was a great experience, thank you again!
We chose a family surfing course. Hamza took great care of us and was a great teacher.
Great family surf session with Hamza, friendly, patient, great teacher and fishing! Thank you very much, we will come back!
Great experience renting surf gear here—everything was in top condition. Huge thanks to Abdu and Hamza for their amazing introduction to surfing! Super friendly staff and a great vibe. Highly recommend!
We really enjoyed it, abdo was brilliant, friendly and gave clear instructions. We definitely recommend it. Have fun. And thank you Abdo 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
We had a 2 hour lesson with Hamza, one adult and two boys 7 and 9. Hamza was great at explaining and took great care of everyone. Hamzas local knowledge of the sea and currents was invaluable. Everyone was standing and surfing within the first 30 mins and all now have the surfing bug - so much so we’re planning to be back for more tomorrow! Thanks Hamza!
Nice Kitesurf-Rental. Needed supervision because of the big waves at the spot. Very well done with explaining and helping out. Learned a lot 😉 Special thanks to Abdou! 🏄🏼♀️🪂☺️
Excellent kitesurfing club and Ayoub, great instructor, patient!
All the gear and good people, at the edge of Essaouira beach!

We rented kitesurf material from Hamza and his fayssel marhaba. We were welcomed very warmly. The material was in good condotion. The conditions for renting are fair and the price is lower compared to the surrounding shops
Hamza was a brilliant teacher, excellent instructions which got us up on our boards in no time. I can definitely recommend!
Very nice school, great surf teacher. Abdul was very attentive and had a very cheerful vibe so our group felt very comfortable and excited to try more and more difficult weaves.

Hamza ayoub are great teachers, I recommend +++ super welcoming and invested, you are sure to progress quickly 🙂
Hamza was great with us! Patient and attentive, we had a great time, the children loved it. The team is pleasant and serious. I recommend 100%!!!
We spent a few days in Essaouira with my daughters to take our first kitesurfing lessons. The wind was a bit poor but the KSE guys gave us excellent advice on the best times and the type of lesson best suited to our needs. Starting from scratch, they taught us the basics of kiting clearly and effectively through a series of targeted exercises that in just a few hours allowed us to try starting with the board! On days without wind (which seems frequent in winter) we took some surfing lessons instead, it was the first time for one daughter and she immediately managed to surf!
We had a very good time with the whole KSE team: they are welcoming, competent, close-knit and enthusiastic, we highly recommend them and we certainly hope to be able to return in the future!

This was definitely one of the best Kitesurf-stations we have ever been to.
The material is all Duotone from this or last season.
Ayoub is doing a phenomenal job, coordinating the station and making sure every client is happy.
Hamza was a huge help, setting up the kites and giving advice how to make new tricks.
The price for rental is really generous and also only taken for the time your are actually have been kiting.
All in all the vibe in KSE is what every Kitesurfer is looking for on vacation.
Thank you guys.

Had a really good time with the instructors at KSE! Was greeted by an excellent instructor Ayoub (picture) that took us through a crash course before we headed out for the waves. If you are visiting Essaouira, this is the place to go to if you want to try out surfing!
Ayoub was really friendly. All the people here were friendly and the stuff is nice too. I come again.
Ayoub was a very good and educational instructor. I would definitely recommend him!
Much love for Hamza, Ayoub and the whole team! The service is super nice and accommodating, the material is top of the season and the atmosphere is great. Good vibes only😁
Hamza and Ayoub are very helpful. This school is really nice, the best for me, plus it’s an exceptional place, I recommend it.
Hamza is excellent! Patient, polite, likes his job , just a very good trainer. I’ll come back again soon.
Ayoub’s instructions were perfect; I really liked the kite lessons from him. He gives good and clear instructions. I highly recommend booking or renting your equipment here. I will definitely come back in the future!
I had a 2hr lesson with Soufiane and it was great. I unfortunately don't speak French or Arabic, so was a little concerned that it might be hard.His English was MORE than ok so if that is something you need, he would be a great option. Excellent instructor.
Great experience thanks to Hamza, to recommend for your Kite or surf session in Essaouira
I've been Kiting at KSE for almost six years and it's always a pleasure to see all the employees of this great school again. They are all super helpful and extremely kind. The prices are unbeatable in Essaouira and the location is ideal. Hamza and Ayoub are great teachers and Fayssales, very kind
Hamza was great! We really enjoy the experience surfing with this school 😉
Hamza was an amazing teacher ! Although It was my first experience I can ride waves!!!
Thank u so much!

Soufiane, was always friendly and helpful. The place is nice and the prices are very affordable. I recommend
At the top, great day we learned really well, incredible spot!!
Thanks for the really nice session! Soufiane gave me very good recommendations while doing a supervision class.
Very happy with Ayoub, and the team at KSE! Had tried kiting on snow before, but water is another matter. Ayoub took us quickly through the basics and straight up to a sensible level based on previous experience. A bit of a mess with the equipment (as there always is with kiting) so they extended the hour at least accordingly. Good service!
Great welcome, great team, thanks to Soufiane for the good advice and kindness.
Top kite lessons!
I will come back

An exceptional place for all lovers of the sea and surfing! The team is both professional and warm, always ready to share their passion and adapt to everyone's levels, whether you are a beginner or an experienced surfer. A huge thank you to Ayoub, Abdo and Hamza, incredible, patient and motivating instructors, who make each session even more enjoyable. The equipment is of high quality and perfectly maintained, and the courses are given in a relaxed but serious atmosphere. The location is ideal, with waves suitable for all levels and magnificent views. We always leave with incredible memories and a desire to come back as soon as possible. I recommend without hesitation! 🌊
Great experience!! Service and treatment of 10. Very good price. Special mention to Hamza who helped us with everything we needed.
Awesome place and people there even more awesome. Hamza was the best one!
Highly recommended, Hamza gives very good advice on places in the area!!
The best. Friendly, pleasant... we rented with them for several days (May 15-19) and the treatment could not have been better. The best prices in Essaouira and the nicest and most polite kids in the city, too. They helped us with everything, not just everything related to surfing.
Come to KSE!
A great welcome with experienced staff.
The equipment is top notch as are the prices!
There is something for everyone.
Thank you to the whole team for your kindness and wise advice.

Hamza is an excellent instructor, we both got on the surf from first try, he explained the theory very well and corrected mistakes.
Excellent Kite Surfing experience!
Top organization, perfect communication and the courses are excellent!
Very professional support from my instructor Ayoub, he deserves the Nobel Prize for patience! Very attentive and adapts to the level of the students to progress throughout the lessons.
I took 10 hours and I'm ready to add more if necessary but we have so much fun during the sessions that it's worth every penny spent! Thank you Ayoub!
The rest of the team (Hamza, Faycel...) are very friendly and create a good atmosphere when you arrive!
I highly recommend!!!!

Smiling, friendly, motivating and observant, Hamza was able to give me wise advice so that I could succeed in my first slides in Moroccan territory.
I recommend KSE for anyone wanting to learn surfing 👍

Hamza Mayke was an amazing instructor, highly professional and very friendly. Just don’t bring your girlfriend along, as he is extremely handsome. All jokes aside, he made it very easy to understand the basics and to apply them in the water afterwards. Would definitely recommend!
My boyfriend and I got this surfing place recommended and it was great! With little surfing experience, Hamza Mayke gave us a brief introduction and held our hand through our first ever surf! This guy is a confidence booster - professional with charm and warmth 🙂
It was really worth the extra walk from the medina. Go!

Took several privaye lessons for myself and my 2 boys (9 & 10 yo) and the team who got us surfing in no time. Great with kids - special shout out to Hamza for his dedication and energy.
Good surf school. Everyone very helpful. Abdo is a very good and nice teacher (speaks good English). Despite difficult wind conditions, I had fun. Thanks
Thank you Ayoub Mike for the lessons, Great 👍 very friendly and caring staff, great duotone equipment, excellent value for money I recommend 🙂
The welcome with Mr Ayoub is warm, and the price is reasonable. The place is clean and the service is very good. The private lessons are well done and the group lessons are well organized. The instructors are professional. This is our favorite surfing spot in Essaouira 🤗
Great surf spot. The instructors are very friendly and are keen to teach the right gestures whatever the level. 12 of us had a great time with all levels. A special big up to Hamza, Abdou and Ayoub!
Perfect. I'm not super good at this sport and Abdul explained and helped me really well and I was standing on the first wave. Great teaching, kindness and help at the right time to feel confident, eliminate errors little by little and progress. A huge thank you to Abdul (coach) and the rest of the team. I recommend 200% to all beginners
Great session with Hamza and Ayoub! Very good advice for catching the wave.
Great session with Hamza and Ayoub! Super friendly and very good teachers (I needed them 😅)
I had a great time learning to surf with Hamza and Ayoub! They were very patient and explained everything step by step. Their positive attitude made the lesson fun and gave me the confidence to keep trying, even when I made mistakes.
By the end of the lesson, I was able to catch my first waves – such an amazing feeling! The lesson was relaxed but still very professional, and their tips really helped me improve. I highly recommend learning to surf with them. Thank you, Hamza and Ayoub! 😁

Thank you so much to Hamza and Ayoub for two perfect hours at the beach of Essaouira surfing 🏄 I didn’t know what to expect as a newbeginner, but with you as instructors. it was so much fun! We will be back!
Mike and Hamza made this a very good first surfing experience for me and my wife. They were supportive and had several tips that helped us improve our surfing. It was a fun experience, lot of exercise in the water. Next time, if the wind conditons are optimal, we try kiting
Damn good experience of a first surfing lesson! Amazing instructors - Abdul, Hamza and Ayyub. Highly recommend.
Amazing first surf experience by Abdul, Hamza ,Ayub ...we were first timers and they ensured the customized the lesson accordingly to our needs. Will definitely recommend to anyone.
We went for 2 hrs surfing with Abdul and Hamza..it was such an amazing experience...they took great efforts in making it fun and good experience
Ayoub and Hamza were wonderful. What great guys. Come hire surf boards from them!
Hamza was a great teacher! It had been a while since the last time I had surfed and I was surprised by how a few but smart tips helped me improve my technique so fast. I had so much fun! 🙂
what a fantastic Kite surf school !! I made so much progress in so little time thanks to the private classes. I am very happy with the experience, the teacher I had and the staff who was really kind and available !
I'll definitely come back !!

Thank you Hamza for your lesson, we were able to enjoy the waves quickly and in a very short time thanks to you! Thank you ☺️
Strong Leasing skills, humble person, determined to make you successful. Ayoube is the one to Go for fast learning
I was end of October 24 in Essaouira for 1.5weeks Kitesurfing and decided for KSE. Although pricing at 1st sight is similar to other schools nearby, I would say, they are far more generous and provide far more value for price than other schools.
Wind conditions were difficult at that time and they were fully accommodating to guests needs putting their need to earn money for their living at 2nd place. I highly appreciated this rare mindset at nowadays time. And enjoyed some rewarding surf lessons at 2 of the days without wind.

Great place to learn kitesurfing! We were new to the sport and took a series of lessons with Ayoub who ran us step by step through the different aspects of kitesurfing and made sure we learned in an efficiënt way! Although kitesurfing might seem difficult to learn and the beginnings are slow if you have never flown a kite, learning in steps makes sure you have the proper technique before putting it all together and getting some great runs!
Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I took lessons from Ayoub. He was a good, friendly teacher with a lot of patience!
Great initiation with Hamza for two people in a semi-private setting. We learned lots of things and were able to get up straight away thanks to his valuable advice! Absolutely worth trying
Hamza was a class coach, very knowledgable and helpful. Fun couple hours
Hamza was an incredible teacher and got us novices surfing like pros in no time!
Very good stay at KSE.
Located in an enviable location on Essaouira beach (next to the Ocean Vagabounde restaurant), Faicel and his team help beginners and non-newbies progress in Kite-Surfing.
They rent kite and surf equipment.
Abdu = Crack. 😉

I had a wonderful surf class with Abdul. He is such a patient and friendly teacher- I couldn't have imagined anyone better! I was able to stand several times, even though I'm still a beginner. Thank you for this great idea experience🤙
Highly recommended. Super friendly instructors, very patient (they needed to be!), great introduction to the sport. Brilliant with kids too and great pricing. Will be back!
Great place, very convenient, great guys. Our instructor, Abdo, was just awesome! We took kite lessons in other places before, and we know the difference between people who can and can't teach. Awesome instructor - Highly recommend.
Spent 10 lessons with Ayoub and made a lot of progress. The kite school makes a very professional impression and everyone is in a good mood all the time. The instructors were very patient during the learning process and always gave accurate feedback and tipps.
First kite surfing experience in Essaouira as a beginner and it was incredible!
The instructors are really super friendly, welcoming, smiling and the prices are reasonable. We are well equipped and I always felt safe.
I learned at my own pace with Sofiane who was simply extraordinary and who gave me a taste for this new sport! I hope to come back very soon!

Amazing experience with Abdu he was very patient and helpful during the whole class of kite surfing, super fun.
I had a three hour beginner kite surfing lesson with Ayoub. He was a fantastic teacher and very patient with me. He was calm and repeated instructions clearly, which helped me build my confidence and understanding of how to control the kite. I really enjoyed the session and I am looking forward to booking another session one day when I return to Essaouira! Thank you 😊
Did a private session with Ayoub - amazing instructor! He managed to get me in the water after a break of more than 5 years. The spot it’s amazing and wind conditions were good too!
We took a class of 2 hours and it was really nice. The teacher (Hâmzâ) was very focused and had good humour in same time. He made me to stand up and even jump on the board!!! Yippi
The material was good, the conditions as well.
Really friendly surf school - all the team!
I would come back if I get the chance and can recommend it to everyone.
Thank you so much!

We took 2 hours of surf lessons with Hamza, which we recommend if you are looking for a teacher to learn and laugh at the same time! THANKS !
I had lessons from Ayoub, hè was the best. Hè doesn’t overload you with tips and focuspoints, but gives you just the right ammount of tips to focus and work on. Rest of the guys at the shop were great. If I come to Essaouira again I will definitely come here again.
Best school to learn kiting in Essaouira. The teachers are very professional and the equipment up to date. I can totally recommend to take some lessons.
Had a blast at the surf school! Hamza, the instructor, is a legend – got me on the board on the first go. Can't believe I pulled it off. Big shoutout to the crew, you guys rock! Best time ever, thanks a million.
Fayçel and his team are super nice and well equipped. The surf sessions are both informative and fun. I recommend KSE highly for all surf lovers! 🌊🏄🏼♂️#KSE #SurfEssaouira
Super friendly staff that are great instructors along with really good facilities right by the beach.
We went for a smaller group for lessons in kite surfing and surfing and went from complete beginners to standing matter of hours.
Cannot recommend enough and they are the once company that doesn't have you getting changed in the seating area of a cafe.

I had a great experience here as an advanced beginner:) Abdoul was the most patient , kind and helpful teacher I’ve had . His peaceful attitude helped me a lot and calmed me:)) I was able to concentrate and reach some major goals! The shop is super nice and the vibe is cool and relax. It’s what we all need!
