                    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 practice. Our instructors will create a safe learning environment, enabling you to train and to receive professional feedback on your actions.
                    Depending on the type of lesson and content we either teach you in pair 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 Essaouira

                    Essaouira is a charming coastal town of 78,000 inhabitants, located in the center of Morocco on the Atlantic coast, with endless beaches in and around the town. It has been a favourite destination for windsurfers, kitesurfers and surfers from all over the world for a very long time. The architecture of the old town is strongly influenced by Berber, Portuguese and French culture. The massive appearance of the walls around the old town gives it a mystical sublimity, and it is easy to see why it was once called "Mogador", which translates as "little fortress".

                    Essaouira is not only an incredible kitesurfing and windsurfing spot, but it also has a huge cultural potential and history.

                    BEST PERIODS

                    May, June, July, August, September

                    WIND

                    The wind blows mainly side shore in Essaouira, and comes from the right when looking at the sea. Some days it is less regular, more gusty, and turns slightly offshore (from the land). Between June and August the thermal wind strengthens the trade winds, so the wind becomes stronger. The kitesurfing, windsurfing and wingfoil center of ION CLUB Essaouira does courses in the morning, and the thrill seekers mainly sail in the afternoon. You will find some of the same atmosphere of Lassarga or Dakhla Lagoon in the south of Morocco, where two other ION CLUBs have settled in the same serene place. Kitesurfing, wingfoil, surfing and windsurfing are sports that are very important in Morocco.

                    WAVES

                    Wave conditions are particularly good in spring and autumn (1 to 2 meters). Due to the strong wind, the waves are slightly smaller between June and August (0.5 to 1 meters). Otherwise, the spot in the bay of Essaouira is choppy/slightly choppy.

                    HOW TO GET TO ESSAOUIRA ?

                    From Marrakesh

                    Leave Marrakech airport and follow the road to the city center. At the first roundabout, you can see the sign "Essaouira" on the left side. Follow the road for about 170 km until you arrive in Essaouira. The roads are well maintained and the trip will take about 2h30. When you arrive in Essaouira, take the coastal road with the sea on your left. Follow this road until you see the ION CLUB center, right next to the Ocean Vagabond restaurant. You will finally enjoy your Moroccan kite or windsurfing trip, in the generous and beautiful city of Essaouira

                    From Agadir

                    Leave the airport and take the road to the city center. When you get to the main road along the coast, you will see the sign "Essaouira". Follow this road for about 180 km. It will take about 3 hours as there are many curves on the road. When you arrive at the first intersection in Essaouira, go straight to the coastal road, you will find the ION CLUB center right next to the Ocean Vagabond restaurant.
