Once you ride upwind reliably, Essaouira becomes a playground — flat sections for pop, chop for practice, and strong afternoons that reward smaller kites and committed edging.
Jump progression coaches use
1. Pop without sending the kite to zenith 2. Controlled small jumps downwind first 3. Transitions and toe-side before big air 4. Kiteloop intro only with dedicated supervision
Strong-wind etiquette
When the bay hits 25–30 knots, schools tighten zones, use smaller kites, and may run supervised downwinders for experienced riders only.
