Instructors
Hicham Fennioui
Hicham is born and raised in Dakhla. Hicham knows by heart all the spots in the lagoon. Aware that the best lessons cannot be fixed in one spot, hence, the idea of projecting yourself into a mobile school in order to make the most of the best learning areas. He has more than ten years of experience in kitesurfing, he is IKO Level 3 certified and has held the position of head instructor for four years in one of the biggest kitesurfing centers in Dakhla.
Mehdi Fennioui
Mehdi started kitesurfing at a young age; immediately, this sport became his real passion. Mehdi joined several kitesurfing schools in order to obtain a better coaching experience. He, therefore, passed the UCPA training and obtained the diploma of kitesurf instructor, and also participated in Freestyle competitions. Dynamic, smiling, and educational are the qualities that have enabled this young athlete to have loyal customers who are attached to his course and kiting behavior.
Location
Their nautical base is in the city of Dakhla, not far from the airport. The city of Dakhla is located 30 kilometers north of the Tropic of Cancer, in the same latitudes as Havana, Canton, or Hawaii, 650 kilometers south of Laâyoune, 1,690 kilometers from Rabat, and only 370 kilometers north of the Mauritanian border.
In the very south of Morocco, Dakhla is a meeting place between people, travelers, the ocean and the desert. To achieve it, in transit or at the end of a journey, is to experience a gentle disorientation which takes a few days before fading. And that is good, because here, in Dakhla, a thousand miles from any inhabited land, the nature, although fragile, takes its time.
Distances
- Tropic of Cancer, 30 kilometers
- Mauritanian border, 370 kilometers
- Laâyoune, 650 kilometers
- Rabat, 1690 kilometers
