"Solo Travel to improve my kiting. "
I just came back from my solo trip to Essaouira. I booked 8hrs of private lessons to up my kitesurf level, I already knew how to go back and forth but needed some help with riding upwind and doing transitions. I am really happy that I picked Essaouira Watersports to help me with this. They really took the time to get me comfortable with the kite material and the conditions in Essaouira.
My teacher Rida is very knowledgeable about everything kitesurf related, he is calm, has endless patience, is very analytical and can point out just the small details that will get you to the next level. He really gave me the confidence in my own skills, which was one of my goals.
Besides that he is also a nice, friendly and fun person. On days without wind, I took wavesurfing lessons with Ayoub, who is also a great teacher with a positive and energetic spirit and eager to push you to the next level. I have been a ski instructor myself for many years, so I know a good teacher when I see one ;)
Traveling solo can sometimes be lonely, but from the first moment I stepped into the surfschool, the Essaouira Watersports team made me feel very welcome. At some point I hurt my ankle on the beach, and they even went out of their way to care for me and help me getting the proper care I needed . All in all, I had an amazing time, was sad to leave, and already planning my next trip to Essaouira.
I'm not always this enthousiastic, but I would rate my experience 10 out 10. Highly recommend !
