The KJ Experience at Lassarga
From April to October La Sarga is a mainly a flat water spot and suitable for all levels with more focus on wave sailing in the winter months from November to March. The La Sarga spot has 2 beaches - one ideal from beginner level upwards with more flat conditons, ideal for progression and the main spot on the beach where the accommodation and centre is located, for independent riders who can go up wind and want to try in waves.

In the winter month, from November to March, from November to March. suited for kitesurfers with an interest in waves for kitesurfing and surfing - from beginners in strapless and surfing, to progressors and advanced, all are welcome. The waves are usually never more than head high at La Sarga, and sometimes it can be mini waves or even flat, so waves are not guaranteed everyday! La Sarga is all sand bottom, so it´s a safe and friendly wave spot for surfing and kitesurfing. 

The wind is off shore, so those who don´t have the experience riding in offshore wind can ride around the point at the ´La Sarga lagoon beach´, which has side shore wind and no swell, so good for beginners and intermediate / progressor riders. Access to the Lassarga lagoon beach is by the centre boat or 4 x 4.




The KJ Experience at Dakhla Lagoon is best suited for kitesurfers wanting to progress in general with a twin tip or strapless. The entry level is  riding upwind and independently kitesurfing. If someone is slightly below this level or unsure, it´s advised to arrive a day or 2 before and take some lessons before the camp starts.




Kirsty available for private lessons at all levels, subject to my availability but you must pre-book to guarantee availabilty.
