About Salty Joy
Kitesurf Dakhla: a tailor-made wingfoil, kitesurf, and surf experience
Salty Joy is a mobile school for kitesurfing, wingfoil, and surfing in Dakhla. Our school lets you discover kitesurfing in Dakhla in every possible way: lessons on the Dakhla lagoon, advanced training courses, kitesurf equipment rental, and adventures on the best kitesurfing spots in Dakhla with experienced coaches. Every morning, Salty Joy picks you up at your hotel to give you a unique experience on a location adapted to the conditions (wind, tides, waves). On site, a personalized briefing makes every kitesurf or wingfoil lesson a true moment of progress, whether you are in a training course or starting a surf camp.
Lunch is organized according to your wishes: picnic on the spot, meal at the hotel, or in a local restaurant, always in a friendly atmosphere.
In the afternoon, a second 2-hour session is scheduled. At the end of the day, we conduct a debrief to review the highlights of the experience. We then take you back to your hotel and plan the next day together. Each day, your progress is analyzed to ensure a precise and high-quality debrief.
“We don’t just teach you techniques. We help you master the wind and the waves.”
