Essaouira gear guide: the boards, kites, wings, foils & wetsuits we teach and rent—Duotone, North, Torq/NSP, and how we size you for the Atlantic.

We believe that high-performance gear accelerates learning. That is why we are a Duotone and North Kiteboarding center. We refresh our fleet every season to ensure you ride the latest Evo, Neo, and Rebel kites, along with Slick and Unit wings.

All our kite lessons include radio helmets for instant feedback from your instructor and high-visibility safety vests for the bay.

The Essaouira bay has a sandy bottom, but the waves can be powerful. We use Torq soft-tops for absolute beginners to ensure safety. For progressing surfers, we offer a range of Indio and NSP epoxy funboards and shortboards that handle the Atlantic swell with precision.

Wetsuit choice is critical in Morocco: we provide 3/2mm suits for the summer and thick 4/3mm suits for the winter months, ensuring you stay warm for the full 2-hour session.

Beginners get soft-tops with volume well above body weight. Intermediates move to funboards and fish shapes when pop-up and trim are consistent. Advanced shortboards are reserved for days when swell and skill match—ego boards catch fewer waves.

Torq and NSP shapes in our quiver balance durability and glide in windy, sometimes choppy bay surf.

Duotone and North kites are rinsed daily, lines checked each season, and safety systems demonstrated before launch. Wing foils are paired with boards that match lesson stage—high volume for kneeling phases, smaller boards once foiling is stable.

Ion and Mystic suits cover 3/2 summer and 4/3 winter sizes. Radio helmets are standard on kite and wing lessons; impact vests and helmets are strongly recommended for all foil sports.
