OUR
STORY
Our story begins with a passion for both adventure and culture, brought to life in the charming coastal town of Essaouira. As a Portuguese native, the owner of our watersport center first arrived in Essaouira and was instantly captivated by its unique blend of history, natural beauty, and warm, welcoming community. Falling in love with the town's coastal winds and crystal-clear waters, he knew he had found the perfect place to bring his vision to life. Drawing from his love of the ocean and his deep-rooted connection to Portugal's seafaring culture, he decided to open a watersport center, offering both locals and visitors the opportunity to experience the thrill of windsurfing, kitesurfing, and other water activities. Here, we strive to share the same passion and love for this magical town, while providing unforgettable experiences on the waters that surround Essaouira’s shores. Our center is not just a business; it’s a tribute to the place that stole our heart and a way to invite others to share in its charm.
