Prism Kite Technology Zenith 5 Single Line Delta Kite

Product Information

The best months to visit Dakhla are February, May, June, and July. I came in October and the wind was rather weak and there were some days where I did nothing during the morning, having to wait for the wind to come and not starting my kiting until 3pm or later. Some days there was no wind at all, which means there’s very little to do. There are some desert and camel tours to be had but I’ve been on plenty of camels. Some people elected to go surfing on the ocean side and others would do paddle boarding. Most people just resigned to the fact that there just wasn’t much to do and relaxed. Kite lessons on the beach From Paris to Casablanca to Dakhla, I paid about 300 euros for a round trip fare. Flights are twice a day from Casablanca, one in the morning at 7:55am and one in the evening at 9:30pm. Most people will take the night time flight unless you are staying overnight in Casablanca. The flight arrives just before midnight. If you’re looking for a kite-focused trip, chilled vibes and the option to just relax and recharge when you’re off the water then a trip to Dakhla is a solid call. In recent years there has been a big push among the hotels to cater for non-kiting guests, with city tours and visits to various tourist attractions. The ancient mosque is well worth a visit - built by the Spanish, it still stands today as a monument to ancient architecture.

For those looking for something nicer, the chalets at Dakhla Evasion are incredibly nice and offer unobstructed views of the lagoon with a personal bathroom. The chalets are €118 per night for a single traveler, and €198 for two people which I think is a great deal. For mid-range pricing, the bungalows at Dakhla Evasion offer private bathrooms but not the large spacious windows like the chalets.

Families often prefer locations for beginners and beach/island activities, while the die hards may opt for spots that suits their progression needs. Inter-island downwinders, wave spots or nightlife for the party animals are thrown into the mix for your perfect Caribbean kite trip.

The International Kiteboarding Organisation (IKO) is the biggest and most respected kitesurfing organisation in the world setting the very best teaching standards in safety and progression using unique teaching methods. Dakhla is very reliable for wind, so you shouldn’t have many windless days (if any) but if you do then there’s surfing and wave SUPing over on the coast. SUPing on the lagoons is also popular. From Dakhla, you will clear Moroccan Immigration and customs before heading to your kitesurf resort or guesthouse in the town of Dakhla. Note that Morocco STRICTLY forbids all drones in the country which is a shame because drones are the best way of taking good footage while kiting. They specifically x-ray and verbally ask you for drones when you enter the country. If you’re found with a drone, it will be confiscated permanently and you may even be fined.

The most basic line you can use is simple cotton twine. For the better quality kites, single and dual line versions use materials such as nylon, polyester, silk, Dyneema, Dacon, linen. Really strong varieties of line will have some element of Kevlar. Lines can use any combination of these materials and the best type to select is dependent upon the wind rating of the kite. Like their name implies, these basic kites are flown with one line. They’re suitable for all ages and a great way for beginners to get an introduction to flying.
