Located directly on the Atlantic coast, Explora Watersports Essaouira is a leading water sports school for kitesurfing in Essaouira, wingfoil lessons in Morocco, and professional surf coaching on the beach. Founded in 2009 by locals born and raised in this Atlantic paradise, our mission is simple: share the true power, beauty, and potential of Essaouira with the world.

Essaouira is more than a travel destination to us — it is our home. Growing up between strong trade winds and Atlantic waves gave us a natural, instinctive understanding of the sea long before Explora Watersports existed.

Combined with international experience, this local knowledge has evolved into a highly professional and efficient
watersports school in Morocco.
