No experience needed! Our beginner kitesurf lessons start from zero. We begin with kite control on the beach before moving to the water, so you build confidence and safety skills from the very start. Essaouira's sheltered bay provides ideal flat water conditions for beginners learning their first water starts.
Most beginners need between 8 to 15 hours of lessons to ride independently. This varies depending on your fitness, coordination, and how quickly you pick up kite control. Our 10-hour group package (€275) or 10-hour private package (€475) are specifically designed to take you from zero to independent riding over several sessions.
Essaouira is world-renowned among kitesurfers for its consistent trade winds, which blow reliably from spring through autumn. The bay offers 100 metres of calm flat water perfect for beginners, while Sidi Kaouki and Moulay Bouzerktoun offer more challenging wave riding for experienced kitesurfers. The combination of conditions and beautiful scenery makes it one of the best kitesurf destinations in Africa.
We use premium Duotone equipment, including kites such as the Neo, Dice, Rebel, Evo, and Vegas, and twin tip boards including the Jaime and Team Series, as well as wave boards and foils. All gear and wetsuits are included in the lesson price. We also have secure lockers for storage, showers, and changing rooms at our facility in Essaouira.

Wonderful experience and persons !
I spent three amazing months in Essaouira and met the Surftwins on my first day for a surf lesson in Sidi Kaouki. A friend recommended them, and I was thrilled with the experience. The instructors are not only professional but also incredibly supportive, teaching more than just surfing—like building confidence and embracing challenges—all in a fun atmosphere! They became like family to me, especially when I was unexpectedly staying longer in Morocco. They introduced me to fantastic spots and even got me into kitesurfing. I can't recommend them enough! Thank you for everything.
Friendly and reliable
We had a great experience with the surftwins, both are very friendly. They told us about the conditions and hours when to surf. They even came early one morning so we could have a early surf session
