All good things will end one day, so does Oceanbirdz.
After 8 years, this will be our final camp here, we hope to see all of you one more time at Dakhla!
(Due to our last camp here, the focus will be a bit more on kitesurf fun together than intensive coaching sessions like we normally do)
Want to progress your kiteboarding skills and need that extra push for the next step? Kelly, Maroean and Paul will return for the 8th time to the beautiful lagoon of Dakhla to join the Oceanbirdz guests. Desert, wind, small group coaching and good company are the keywords for this kiteboarding camp. Beginner? No worries, we offer kite lessons. And besides we will also have a group that focuses on riding upwind, making first transitions or even a first jump. At this kiteboarding camp we welcome all levels for a good week of fun and relaxation. – As it’s the final and last camp for this coaching team, we are looking forward to it!
Kitesurfing & more
Next to the kitesurfing on the lagoon and at the speed spot, we will organize a downwinder visit to the white dunes for those interested. In case there is no wind, we will offer a nice surf day, kayak to dragon island or take you out for a cable session.
Bungalows in the desert
We will stay at 1 or 2 person luxurious bungalows in the middle of the desert (check out the ‘accommodation’ tab), with nothing than sand, sun and a kite lagoon surrounded. As soon as you leave the plane you will get the ‘back to basic feeling’ straight away. We will provide daily breakfast, lunch and dinner (fresh fish / homemade tajines). If you still have some energy left in the evening, we can always go for a nice drink to the bar.

Do we need to say more? Pack your kite gear, boardshort, bikini, a good book, save all your energy and join us to the perfect kitesurfing destination in the middle of the desert: it is time for progression in kiteboarding paradise Dakhla!

Dakhla: perfect kitesurfing conditions
Dakhla is for many people the definition of perfect kitesurfing conditions. The likely largest kitesurf lagoon throughout the world is matched with perfect wave spots just across the 40 km long peninsula. On top, the wind probability even meets the steady and constant wind you thought you would only find in Brazil. And Dakhla has all this almost all year! Conclusion: a perfect kiteboarding destination for beginners, intermediates, freestylers and even wavekiters.
Weather
If the wind is on, it is ON! Last year we brought our 7m and 10m kites. The wind will start slow in the morning, but always picks up in the afternoon. So you do need a small kite for the afternoon sessions. You can ride in a shorty or summer suit (3/2mm). During the day you can chill out in your bikini. In the evenings the wind won’t drop, so it can be a bit chilly. Therefore don’t forget to bring a wind jacket or sweater that you can wear early morning or when walking to the campfire at night.
Dakhla kiteboarding camp
The beautiful Dakhla Attitude is located at the best spot in the whole Dakhla lagoon, right overlooking the water and around the corner an area with no other camps. We have booked wooden bungalows (1-2 persons) with a private bathroom. The accommodation has a traditional and great restaurant + terrace, fully sheltered from the wind. Here you can eat, drink and relax while watching the dolphins swimming amongst the kiters and windsurfers. Or practice yoga with a view on the kiteboarding spot. Trust us: it is a sight you will not forget!
We choose this location, because it is a luxurious and friendly camp, which offers all needed and with a very professional kitesurf centre. A camp where everybody gets to know each other and everybody will feel welcome. Good times and good vibes are the goals for this kitesurfing trip.
Next to this it is the only accommodation straight on the spot, in low and high tide and with the speedspot around the corner.
Dakhla kite school
Dakhla Attitude offers a fully equipped RIFLY kitesurf centre that we will be using to support us. The team of instructors are well trained, have been certified by the International Kiteboarding Organization (IKO) and speak a variety of languages. The centre stocks brand new 2021 Cabrinha gear for our lessons and rentals. You will find a combination of kites, twintips and directional boards.
WIFI
Free wireless internet is offered in the bar area for all guests.
