Abderrahman was an amazing teacher and a great person and friend! His instructions are clear and he gives you tips during the break, so you can improve during the lesson. Would definitely recommend.

Today we had a kite lesson from Karim and friend. We started early since we didn’t know what the wind was going to do and we had only one day in Essaouira. We had a wonderful lesson, even though it was al little bit rainy. Karim was very patient and took us through all the steps. After, we had breakfast together at a typical Moroccan place. Would definitely recommend to every beginner or intermediate kiter!

Super expérience avec Happy kite surf! Nous avons réservé avec notre hôtel Mama Souiri qui nous an mis en contact avec Karim et nous a gentiment accompagné jusqu’à l’école de surf. Notre moniteur Ismael était super, de très bons conseils et très attentionnés ! Nous recommandons les yeux fermés

I rented my kitesurfing equipment from Karim, and even though I didn’t take any lessons, he still helped me with the setup and gave me helpful tips. Karim was extremely friendly and accommodating. I can highly recommend him and Happy Kite!

I had an amazing experience learning kitesurfing with Happy Kite! Karim was the best kite instructor I’ve ever had – super patient, positive, and really understanding with his students. He always motivates you, gives helpful feedback, and makes sure you feel safe and confident on the water. What I really appreciated is how fair he is with lesson time and prices. If you’re looking for a professional and friendly kite school, I can 100% recommend Happy Kite and Karim. Thank you, it was a big pleasure!

Wonderful experience with Happy Kite. We'd never surfed before and over the course of 2 days made real progress thanks to the patience and knowledge of the instructor. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a friendly and safe intro to surfing.

Wat een fantastische ervaring! Het 1e contact via WhatsApp verliep super. Heel snel en duidelijke info. Direct een voorstel op maat. Dat voelde goed en vertrouwd. En het werd bevestigd tijdens de activiteit. Karim is een geweldige instructeur! Vriendelijk, goede uitleg, veel tips tussendoor en tijd maken voor de personal touch. Kortom, een geweldige ervaring. We kunnen Happy Kite en Karim alleen maar aanraden!

Ich hatte das große Glück auf die Happy Kite Schule zu treffen - und dann auch noch auf Karim als Instructor. Er hat mir ein super Gefühl gegeben und mich motiviert. Ich danke der Kite Schule und kann sie wärmstens weiterempfehlen. Beste Grüße aus Deutschland

I had an amazing experience at Happy Kite school! From the start, the atmosphere was welcoming and professional. Karim, my surf instructor, was absolutely fantastic – patient, encouraging, and very skilled. Thanks to his clear guidance, I was able to stand on a surfboard during my very first lesson, which felt incredible!

The first time I arrived in Essaouira for kitesurfing, I was a bit scared of the waves. I took a class with Karim. During the class, he explained the spot and gave me tips on how to cross the waves. After the class, I felt confident to go by myself. Karim is patient and very positive! I would definitely recommend (kite)surf classes at the Happy Kite School!
