Yeah, there's so much history that there's no way that 15 seconds at the beginning of a travel / kitesurf video are going to be able to justice to all the complexities! Thanks for watching!
Hi guy But without wind in dakhla you can perform the best surf sessions of your life but with the dakhla club's coach is not possible to do that. Next time send me a messages before your trip and i will send you the best spots to kite foil and surf
@@erbartlett Welcome with pleasure. I'm not everytime here due to my job but half year i'm here and the other time there's my friends so no problem for you. It will be always someone for you to discover the good spot for surf, kite and wing
the Sahara extends over a dozen countries but Westerners would like to remove this piece of sand which has always belonged to Morocco historically. the sahrawis are moroccans and it is not a minority left by spain who will inherit our land. That Westerners who do not respect Moroccan territory stay at home, your hypocrisy as a former colonist is just laughable 🤡
It’s part of Morocco it is Moroccans land it’s like you are saying, London is part of France. There is no Western Sahara we will fight to death to defend it, like our great for fathers did.
Considering visiting. What were the temperatures like in December? Also I didn’t see many people sunbathing on the beach, was it too cold for that or is it not allowed?
@@shawnybell1190 lots of people hung out at the club in the beach chairs during the day, though I didnt really see that many people down on the water just laying on the beach since there were so many kiters. Some days were overcast and a bit chilly, other days were warm and sunny so you can get a mix in the winter
According to the US government, Dakhla is a Moroccan city, by the UN disputed not occupied you may need to watch your language and also be well-informed I declare you a persona non-Grata in Morocco
Great Video! Straight to the point! im planning on going to dakhla early June to kite surfing and have some fun, where should I stay? I'm a relatively beginner
Jealous! So you're surfing, and then youre also going to be taking some beginner kite lessons? I think you probably want to stay at a place that has good reviews for their kite school and is along that peninsula so you can get back and fourth to the waves quickly.
I loved how to the point your video was! There wasn't much kitesurfing going on although I really enjoyed the travel tips! You can also consider the area of Patra, Nafpaktos in Greece. From April until the end of June it's off season so there are no crowds at all and the wind is consistent. Flight to Athens shouldn't be that long! I have made some videos about these places ;) Keep up the great work 🙌
Thanks! I watched the blue lake video and it looked amazing!! We did a trip to Paros a few years ago and we absolutely loved it, but the kiting spot was insanely busy. My wife didn’t love how aggressive the riders were around beginners :) we would love to do Greece again!
Western Sahara is 100% Moroccan historically but after the Spanish occupation to the southern Morocco, the Algerian regime found it as a gape and created whats called Polisario which is the community of brainwashed people who wants independence from Morocco since over 50 years ago, Algeria did this because Morocco was asking for its eastern land which is the Eastern Sahara and also was occupied by the French in that era but after France left gave it to Algeria so they can benefit from it, so to stop us they just created another big problem and that succeed but after legally get back Western Sahara we’re going for Eastern Sahara so thats the deal, thanks for your visit and welcome again and again brother
I think it really depends on how much travel you’re doing, and how in love with your gear you are… if you’re doing a ton of travel before or after kiting, it might be a huge pain to carry it with you. If you’re not, then maybe brining gear will be easy. It also depends a bit on what kite camp you are staying in, because the schools all use different brands. On this trip I rented because I had 2 weeks of travel around Morocco afterwards. It was an ok experience, I didn’t love the F-one kites they had
I didn’t foil when I was there, but I saw people foiling in the middle which looked pretty deep. When the tide drops there’s definitely a much longer walk to the water
Thanks for bringing forward the point that this is occupied territory, recognized by the UN as rightfully belonging to the saharawi people. I really appreciate that you include this in the video!
I researched before recording and made sure to check several sources. Wish I had been able to go further in depth to do justice to the region and it’s people. Really a spectacular place
UN never said that morocco is occupying WS, and morocco is a multi ethnical country (sahraouis part of it) this conflict started during the cold war there are 2 sides: western countries pro morocco and Russia/iran/north korea/cuba... which are pro Algeria those who demand this territory are called Polisario, thousands living in camps in Algeria, so called refugees armed to the teeth by this neighboring country saying morocco is occupying this land (which has never been considered an independent state before) is like insulting all a country with it 38 million citizens while giving credits to its enemy neighbor be careful which side you're choosing

Nice Video but please you gotta respect our Land Dakhla is Moroccan Land before the spanish colonie was Moroccan Land just for your own information

Dude, it is being occupied by Morocco. It “should” be it’s own country: Western Sahara
Hi guy

This is MOROCCO.. and 100% Moroccan territory !! Not occupied land ! Correct your information dude

Hello, excellent review ot the spot. I saw many kiters with full wetsuit. Is the water that cold??
It was Jan and the water was 18C / 60F so a 2mm wetsuit is enough but all I had was a 3mm. I was warm kiting and I was out for hours at a time
Non, Darla n'est pas le paradis du kite far trop souvent non venté même les mois les plus prisés. C'est par contre le paradis du marketing.
Wow wonderful kitesurfing trip to Dakhla Evan. Amazing place. Never been to Maroko. Thank you for sharing your video.
Yeah, it was a super interesting spot. Just sent you an email about the footage!
Love this! Thanks, Evan!! Greetings from Jakarta, Indonesia!!😍
@@rusmaarim4322 Appreciate the feedback! Let me know if you have any ideas that I should turn into future videos!

ohh thanks a lot for the video, I am zohir working at KBC dakhla, Hope to see you soon for another video
I hope so, I would love to go back in the prime season!
Sooo, do they have alcohol for the non-wind days?
In the hotel, yes
Amazing! Great information and edit. Thank you!
Thanks Rich!

Le sahara 100% marocain
Great video and thanks for the tips. One question is how did you travel from one town to another?
Would like to have some pictures from the sky with high Resolution of Dakhla and surf. Could you help me?
Very useful. Do you recomending take own gear?
I think it really depends on how much travel you’re doing, and how in love with your gear you are… if you’re doing a ton of travel before or after kiting, it might be a huge pain to carry it with you.

Its not Morocco!!
It's morocco 🇲🇦 always and 4ever I am Saharawi so if you think it's belongs to someone else come try to get it like our old 🤴 said we Eat you!!
Thanks man! That was helpful.
One question though, how does it work when the tide is low?
I didn’t foil when I was there, but I saw people foiling in the middle which looked pretty deep. When the tide drops there’s definitely a much longer walk to the water
good info, thanks!
In Bucket list for sure
Thank you! How close/convenient are the wave spots?
If you rent a car it’s very easy to go there. On the southern tip there is Lassarga, really recommend to go there!!

be careful which side you're choosing
@@zesciarizo362 What a distortion of the facts. Of course it's illegal according to international law
ok try to do anything there claiming it's occupied and you'ill see

Sahara occidental ✌️ 🙉🙊🙈
