Do you want to participate? This is a journey for the brave and adventurous, with many hours of kiting per day, taking you to exclusive locations, camping out in the desert each night, and living incredible moments with the rest of your team. Come and join us for the Dakhla Downwind Challenge 2024!
This event was created by Soufiane Hamaini, the first Moroccan kitesurfer and representative of Morocco on the World Kitesurf Tour for over 14 years. Soufiane first discovered Dakhla in 1999 and has always had curiosity to discover what lay further ahead beyond the lagoon, something that he finally discovered together with a small group of friends who joined together for this first adventure in 2015, after receiving support from the Willaya of Dakhla and the military support of the region. This support is essential, as much of the area is military zone and not accesible without the official authorisations. This is what makes this event unique, original and special. Don’t miss this opportunity!
