Essaouira Bay is where most learning happens — 100 metres of calm flat water before the waves form, sheltered from the strongest gusts, with consistent side-shore wind that makes water starts safe and easy. It’s one of the best beginner kitesurf spots in Morocco.
As you progress, we move to Sidi Kaouki — 25km south of Essaouira, with longer stretches of open beach, more power in the kite, and waves to ride when you’re ready. Moulay Bouzerktoun offers world-class wave riding for advanced kitesurfers. We arrange kitesurf trips to all of these locations, giving you the chance to explore the Moroccan coast and push your riding further. book now
Our group kitesurf lessons are perfect for beginners who want to share the experience with others. Groups are kept small — 3 to 5 students per instructor — so you still get proper individual attention and safe, focused coaching throughout the session.
In group lessons you’ll cover:
Kite setup, safety, and wind window control
Launching and landing techniques
Body positioning and riding technique
How to self-rescue in the water
Transitioning to independent riding
Group lessons are a great way to start kitesurfing in Essaouira with friends or family. Spots fill quickly in peak season — book now
Want a more personal experience but also the fun of sharing it? Our semi-private lessons pair two students with one instructor, each with their own kite and board. It’s perfect for friends, couples, or travelers who want a tailored learning experience together.
Benefits of semi-private kite lessons:
More individual attention than a group lesson
Learn at your own pace while still having a shared experience
Social learning — meet someone new with similar skills
Safer environment with instructor oversight for each student
During the lesson, you’ll gain confidence on the kite, practice launches and landings, and begin riding the water independently — all in a safe, professional, and enjoyable way. book now
Private kitesurf lessons are the fastest way to progress. One instructor, one student — every correction, tip, and drill is built entirely around you. We use BBTalkin communication headsets so your instructor can guide you in real time while you’re flying the kite or riding in the water, without needing to shout or signal.
Sessions last 2 hours. We start where you are — first kite flight, water starts, or working on jumps and transitions — and push you forward as fast as your progression allows.
In private lessons you’ll cover:
Safe kite control and wind window management
Body dragging, water starts, and board riding
Self-rescue techniques
Jumps and wave riding (when ready)
By the end of your session, you’ll feel genuinely confident on the kite. book now

No experience needed! Our beginner kitesurf lessons start from zero. We begin with kite control on the beach before moving to the water, so you build confidence and safety skills from the very start. Essaouira's sheltered bay provides ideal flat water conditions for beginners learning their first water starts.
Most beginners need between 8 to 15 hours of lessons to ride independently. This varies depending on your fitness, coordination, and how quickly you pick up kite control. Our 10-hour group package (€275) or 10-hour private package (€475) are specifically designed to take you from zero to independent riding over several sessions.
Essaouira is world-renowned among kitesurfers for its consistent trade winds, which blow reliably from spring through autumn. The bay offers 100 metres of calm flat water perfect for beginners, while Sidi Kaouki and Moulay Bouzerktoun offer more challenging wave riding for experienced kitesurfers. The combination of conditions and beautiful scenery makes it one of the best kitesurf destinations in Africa.
We use premium Duotone equipment, including kites such as the Neo, Dice, Rebel, Evo, and Vegas, and twin tip boards including the Jaime and Team Series, as well as wave boards and foils. All gear and wetsuits are included in the lesson price. We also have secure lockers for storage, showers, and changing rooms at our facility in Essaouira.

Wonderful experience and persons !
I spent three amazing months in Essaouira and met the Surftwins on my first day for a surf lesson in Sidi Kaouki. A friend recommended them, and I was thrilled with the experience. The instructors are not only professional but also incredibly supportive, teaching more than just surfing—like building confidence and embracing challenges—all in a fun atmosphere! They became like family to me, especially when I was unexpectedly staying longer in Morocco. They introduced me to fantastic spots and even got me into kitesurfing. I can't recommend them enough! Thank you for everything.
Friendly and reliable
We had a great experience with the surftwins, both are very friendly. They told us about the conditions and hours when to surf. They even came early one morning so we could have a early surf session
