— Teaching approach
How Mohamed teaches.
01
Safety first
Every session starts with a safety briefing. Students learn the emergency release before touching the water. No shortcuts on this.
02
Mobile school
We don't stay on one fixed beach. Every morning Mohamed picks the spot based on wind, tide and student level — Diabat, Sidi Kaouki, Moulay.
03
Two students maximum
Never more than two students per instructor. That's the IKO standard and the only way to deliver quality coaching every session.

Reviews of Windy Essaouira.
We had an amazing kitesurf experience with Mohammed. Everything went very smoothly and at ease, we arranged it true WhatsApp. He picked us up in the center of Essaouira and took us to a perfect kite beach 10 minutes out of Essaouira. They have high quality equipment and very professional and detailed explanations on how to improve your kite game. Very fun guys to hang around with. My boyfriend managed kiting upwind in only one class of Mohamed!!
