You don’t need to be super-fit to kitesurf. And the kit is lightweight, so you don’t need lots of muscle strength either. But of course, a decent level of fitness will help you to progress faster.
Your instructor will be there to support you, coach you, and more importantly, keep you safe through the learning process.
We will provide a range of different DUOTONE KITEBOARDING kites, boards, bars suiting the wind conditions.
Usually, you will do 2 hours/day for the 6 hours course but if there are availability and wind conditions you might be able to squeeze in 2 sessions in a day. Please make sure you contact the center prior your arrival date to check the time of your lesson. Minimum of 24 hours before booking online.

COURSE ORGANISATION AND SAFETY
We understand that besides professional tuition, the most important thing when it comes to learning to kitesurf is time to practice. This is why we organize all of our lessons in a way that maximizes your time with the kite, without sacrificing your safety of course.
Here in ION CLUB Dakhla you will not find large group lessons where 4 students or more are sharing one kite. Whenever the conditions allow it, our instructors will make sure that you have your own kite to practice, train, and make mistakes with in a safe and protected environment.
Flexibility
We understand that choosing a kitesurf lesson package from home might be difficult. Don´t worry! No matter which package you choose, if during the lesson the instructor realizes that another package would be more suitable for you, you can always change that on site. You will never have to join a lesson, which actually doesn´t suit your expectations or level.
After every session your instructor will give you detailed feedback and recommendation on how to continue – no matter which course you initially booked. Your success and progress is all that matters to us!
A word about
ION CLUB Dakhla Lagoon
Dakhla is a city of about 100,000 inhabitants in the south of Morocco, at the gateway to the Western Sahara. It is located on a peninsula 48 km long and 4 km wide bordered by the Atlantic Ocean. Owing to this, and by the magic of mother nature, a huge lagoon has been created between the dunes over the years. Our kitesurfing, wingfoil and windsurfing center ION CLUB Dakhla Lagoon is based on the north-east coast of this peninsula.
This incredible lagoon offers dream sailing conditions for all levels of riders. Constant wind almost all year around, flat water and lots of space. Not far from this lagoon and accessible by 4x4, the ocean offers perfect wave riding conditions (often exceptional) for wave lovers. There is something for both beginners and advanced surfers depending on the spots.
BEST PERIODS
February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October
WIND
The wind in Dakhla is mostly from the north/north-east, and offers great conditions for kitesurfers, wingfoilers and windsurfers of all levels, including beginners. In the lagoon the wind is sideshore, and comes from the left.
WAVES
It is not very difficult to find waves near Dakhla or its lagoon. On the Atlantic side, spots like Oum Labouir or the Golden Point make the region a multi-spot place for all levels of riders, whether kitesurfers or surfers.
