Dakhla kitesurf camp

Kite Control is your premium kitesurf school in Portugal. We organize frequent trips away to kitesurf in amazing places with amazing people. We love travelling to kite in Portugal but we also like travelling outside of the country to discover new spots and meet different cultures.

Every year, a lot of people from all over the world visit our kite school located in Lisbon area. We have the opportunity to meet them all and spend time in the water with them which creates a nice atmosphere on the spot. Meeting like minded people is really fulfilling. The kite trips we are offering are a good opportunity for all of us (and not only) to meet again and do what we love together.

We have organized the two previous editions of the Kite Control Trip in Dakhla. Situated on the edge of the Western Sahara desert in Morocco, the Dakhla peninsula shelters a huge 45-kilometre long flat water lagoon from the Atlantic Ocean, so whatever your level and riding preference are, you will find what you need. This spot is safe and fun for everyone.

This mind-blowingly big lagoon is better experienced from later winter until early fall. For this reason, our trips are organized in May, when the weather and water conditions are at their best. The fun starts as soon as we arrive. To simplify things, the only thing you need to do is book your own flights, and everything else, from airport to hotel transfers, accommodation, lessons, and so on, will be taken care of by us. After planing together so we all arrive at the same time at the airport, we get ongoing on our prearranged transfers to the next stop, “fun town”.

There are different options when it comes to choose the camp. We always try to find the best balance between comfort, location, vibe, professionalism and price. You can't really go wrong with the location as the wind blows into the lagoon, offering a side-shore direction on both side. We organize short and longer downwinders, where we start from the camp and go all the way to either the White Dune or the Oyster Farm. You’re guaranteed to see beauty that will make you rub your eyes in disbelief.

All of this organized by us and the hotel, with a ton of other features and activities such as a rescue boat, dinners and picnics, taking pictures for you, all while marvelling at smaller yet stunning lagoons created by the masses of sand that build up to be dunes. We organize the trips and we also travel with you. We are there to kitesurf and make sure you have the time of your life! We will guide you on the spot, we will organize photo shooting to keep memories from our trip, we will teach kitesurfing to the ones who need lessons and we will make sure you keep your smile during the whole trip.

At Kite Control we love to make the most out of our days, therefore we like to wake up earlyish and start by doing a bit of stretching to get the blood flowing followed by getting breakfast together. After getting ready, on some days, three times a week, we train and on other days we take pictures. Training involves regular lessons and we also like to teach some cool tricks that you can perhaps put to use in the wonderful spots we take you to. After lunch, we start free kiting, even though we thrive to maintain a group spirit exploring the other sides of the lagoon together and following it up with a great dinner and some drinks. Never forget to go to bed early in order to be sharp the next day, ready to face another day of our favourite water sport.

We would like to share with you our last trip's video and pictures. Enjoy and if you want to be part of the next adventure, keep yourself informed and follow us on Facebook or Instagram ;-)
