A school is, above all, the people who make it run. At KSE, the team is small, local and stable, with instructors who live in Essaouira and ride the same spots all year round.
Il encadre surtout les premiers cours et les reprises : préparation de l'aile, sécurité, body drag, waterstart. Son style est posé, avec des consignes courtes et répétées au bon moment.
Il organise la base, les plannings et les décisions du jour : matériel disponible, conditions météo, répartition des moniteurs et sécurité des sessions.
It accompanies surf lessons and outings according to the conditions of the day: choice of area, reading of series, placement at the peak and corrections between two waves.
We operate as a small but versatile team. During the high season, we reinforce the supervision with additional instructors trained internally, but the permanent core remains constant from year to year.
Every morning, the team meets for a collective briefing: reading the day's forecast, distribution of lessons according to levels, choice of spot(s), update on the equipment available. Your instructor therefore arrives prepared for the lesson, with a decision already adapted to the conditions.
Basically, instructors do not disappear between two sessions. They prepare the equipment, discuss the conditions, answer students' questions and adjust the schedule when the wind or swell changes. This presence gives a simpler and more human atmosphere than an impersonal operation.
For a beginner, it's reassuring: you see the same faces, you can ask a question before going into the water, and the debrief is not limited to two quick sentences. For a more advanced rider, it's also useful: the team knows your level, your objective and can offer you the right exercise or the right spot.
The team is trained to intervene in the event of a problem and to adapt the sessions to the actual level of the students.
The complete team covers several languages to make the lessons simple and precise.
You can request a specific instructor when booking. We do our best to respect requests depending on availability, levels, weather and the organization of the day.
The most important thing remains the match between your objective and the right supervision: a complete beginner does not have the same needs as an independent rider who wants to take his first jumps or test foiling.
Specify your level, your dates and your objective when booking. We create the right lesson format with the available team.
Kitesurf instructors have IKO certifications depending on their level of teaching. Surf instructors follow structured educational training, and the team keeps first aid training up to date.
Yes, subject to availability. Specify this when booking and we will do our best.
One instructor for 1 student in private, 2 in semi-private, 3 maximum in kite group and 4 maximum in group surfing.
Yes, the whole team speaks French. Most also speak English, and Arabic or Darija for customers from Morocco and the Maghreb.
The composition of the team may change depending on the season. The easiest way is to specify your preference when booking so that we can confirm availability.
