What is a kitesurf downwinder?

A downwinder is a ride along the coast in the direction of the wind: you start at one point and finish further downwind, instead of coming back to where you started. It is for confident, independent riders.

Downwinders start from €70, with a minimum of 3 people; transport and gear are included. The route and the timing depend on the wind and the tide on the day, and we confirm the details with you on WhatsApp.

From €70 · 3 people min. · transport and gear included

To book, tell us:

  • Your dates
  • Number of riders
  • Your level
  • Whether you have your own equipment

Safety first

  • Never kite in offshore wind alone.
  • Check the forecast, the tide and the gusts before riding.
  • Keep at least 50 m of clear space downwind from people and obstacles.
  • Use your quick release and leash, and respect swimming zones in summer.
  • Moulay Bouzerktoun, about 25 km north, is a wave spot for experienced riders only.

Emergency numbers in Morocco: 19 police (cities), 177 Gendarmerie Royale (outside cities), 15 ambulance and fire.

Not independent yet?
