In this first video, shot during our visit to Dakhla, we interviewed Rachid R, one of the pioneers of kitesurfing in Dakhla. There's nothing like a bit of Dakhlaoui history to give you the information you need for your next Kite Trip!
Back from Morocco, where he discovered the coveted Dakhla spots, Lucas Pelus has sent us his latest video. Produced by Kroket Production, it captures the best moments of his cultural and sporting trip.
Organised by the Mad Camel kite camp, Lucas' journey took him to a new kitesurfing spot every day. Those in the know may have spotted the small and large lagoon, the white dune, the ocean and the speedspot. These offer a wide range of sailing conditions, from ultra-flat to big wave kickers. They guarantee unforgettable sessions for every kitesurfer in a magnificent natural setting. A steady 20-30 knot breeze even allowed the kiteboarder to do a few downwinds between each site.
Last October, Jerome Cloetens, Alex Pastor, Joss de Pfyffer and Pablo Amores headed for Dakhla, Morocco. The riders' programme included some great kitesurfing sessions, both freestyle and in the waves. A kite trip enhanced by the images in the best-of edition, which we invite you to discover below!

Your trip perfectly combines the adventure of kitesurfing, well-deserved relaxation and the exploration of a fascinating culture. Dakhla, your destination, is a paradise of unrivalled hospitality.
Each day begins with a peaceful awakening, bathed in a magnificent sunrise. You enjoy breakfast as you wait for the wind to pick up slightly, ready to seize the perfect opportunity to kitesurf. Before setting off, you consult the locals for information on the day's wind conditions, exchange anecdotes with the kitesurfing instructors, and gather their expert advice.
After an exhilarating kitesurfing session, it's time for a divine lunch. Typical dishes from the region, prepared by Moroccan or foreign chefs, offer you a palette of new flavours at every meal. You can choose between healthy dishes for the fitness-conscious or gourmet delights to satisfy every taste bud. Vegetarians and vegans are also catered for, with specially concocted menus.
In the afternoon, you can take a well-deserved break. You can relax in comfortable areas, sheltered from the wind, to recharge your batteries before returning to the water. You can perfect your kitesurfing skills or explore new disciplines such as Wingfoil or windsurfing.
Once back on dry land, it's time for a refreshing shower and to get ready for the evening. The atmosphere varies from kite camp to kite camp, ranging from relaxing calm, focused on mental preparation for the next day, to lively evenings over delicious cocktails. Before you hit the dancefloor, you can take part in yoga classes to re-energise and balance your mind.
This is a typical day in Dakhla, where kitesurfing, lounging and immersion in a new culture blend harmoniously to create an unforgettable experience. The friendly people around you and the welcoming curiosity of the locals make every moment even more special.
