What should I wear for Dakhla? Which wetsuit for surfing or kitesurfing?
Wingfoil: 7 reasons to get started!
The Cable-Park at the DAKHLA ATTITUDE kitesurf camp officially started its activities in March 2014 during the PKRA DAKHLA 2014 organised by Dakhla Attitude. All the pro-riders were impressed by the DWS 2.0 system tag installed and the quality of the complete setup. Nobody could believe such a park in the middle of the desert! The DACP is a 140x45M pool with a DWS 2.0 system. 2 big kickers, a box and a rooftop will challenge even the most advanced riders. For beginners and children, 2 small kickers are available at all times. The DACP is open all year round and operates from 10am to 8pm.
The DACP uses HYPERLITE and CABRINHA boards. RONIX, HYPERLITE and CABRINHA shoes and specific NP accessories (helmets and life jackets).
