Wingsurf Lessons ION CLUB DAKHLA LAGOON
At the ION CLUB center we offer a wide range of different wing surf lessons. Whether you are a complete beginner with no experience in any kind of surf sport before, or a windsurfer, kitesurfer or surfer who would like to learn this amazing new sport, we can show you the way.
Beginner lessons are actually very similar to windsurf beginner lessons. Wing surf students start on a stand up paddleboard, and simply trade the sail for a wing. After that, the learning objectives for beginners are the same as for our windsurf students, and after only a couple of hours you will be able to ride by yourself.
For the more experienced riders we offer high standard wing foil lessons. With a maximum of 2 people per instructor we teach you how to fly safely, jibe or even jump with your wing foil gear.

A word about
ION CLUB DAKHLA LAGOON
Important information - We would like to inform you that ION CLUB is leaving the lagoon for some new adventures starting January 15, 2024. However, the center and the teams remain within Lagon Energy, ready to welcome you. From January 15 onwards, all reservations should be made directly with Lagon Energy at the following address: booking@lagonenergy.com
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.
