“4 of us enjoyed an EPIC downwinder hosted by Rashid and his awesome crew at Essaouira Water Sports. These guys provided us with great gear, terrific service, and just a lot of fun, all at a reasonable price. Would highly recommend!”

“The crew of Essaouira Watersports is open minded and makes you feeling at home in the water… The teacher supported me with clear advices and made me feel comfortable and safe. As a not super sporty person I never felt judged when I had a fail and this was important to me.”
