COURSE ORGANISATION AND SAFETY
We understand that besides professional tuition, the most important thing when it comes to improving your windsurfing skills is time to practise. Our instructors will create a safe learning environment, enabling you to train and to receive professional feedback on your actions.Â
Depending on the type of lesson and content we either teach you in small groups or individually.
In order to provide you with instant feedback especially during our advanced lesson program, our instructors use Radio Headsets enabling them to communicate with you while riding.
Flexibility
We understand that choosing a Windsurfing 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 small town about 1000 km south of Essaouira, situated on a 48 km long and 4 km wide peninsula that stretches into the Atlantic Ocean and forms a huge lagoon. The location of our ION CLUB windsurfing and kitesurfing centre is on the north-east coast of this peninsula.
The huge sandy lagoon offers fantastic conditions with constant winds all year round, flat water and more than enough space. Beginners, pros and everyone else will find kitesurfing conditions at their best. As an added bonus, the other side of the peninsula offers perfect wave conditions that can be reached by car in no time.
BEST PERIODS
February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October
WIND
Wind in Dakhla usually comes from north - northeast, and offers fantastic opportunities for advanced and intermediate windsurfers and kitesurfers.
In the Lagoon side, the wind usually blows sideshore from the left.
WAVES
We offer trips to various wave spots several times a week:
Point D'or: 15 minutes from the center, sandy entry, sometimes a little wind in the first few meters, then just cruising with wind from the right.
Oum Labbouir: about 30 minutes drive from the center. Here the waves wash up very cleanly on the sandy beach. Chance of rocks in the water when you get closer to the cape.Â
HOW TO GET THERE ?
From Dakhla Airport
From Dakhla airport it is only 28 km going north on the main road to the ION CLUB & Ocean Vagabond. The airport transfer takes about 15-20 minutes.
