Successful Kite Camp in Dakhla!
The Fun&Fly Kitecamp in Dakhla was a perfect week with lots of riding and great evolution from the 6 kiters I have been coaching. We were very well welcomed by the Hotel Océan Vagabond and Club Mistral which had the friendliest team I have met so far.
The evolution of my cool students (Bruno, Eric, Pierre, Jerome, Fred and Marie) was very pleasing to watch, they learnt new tricks everyday and they all had different levels, from doing a nice backloop transition to the huge kiteloop backloop and first surface handle passes.
The progress was fast and they all enjoyed as much as I did riding up to 6 hours a day, except when their bodies could not hold it anymore… lots of sun, blisters on the hands and painful muscles from so much exercise… but we certainly took advantage of every second by kiting, video and photo shooting to analyze the mistakes and new tricks, stretching after the sessions and ending with a few mojitos after a long day of exercise…
Spending some time in Dakhla at Océan Vagabond surprised me and it is certainly in my top 3 places to go to improve your riding and chill out in a nice surrounding where there is only a few things to think about: Kite, kite, kite, relax, nice food, good sleep, good atmosphere, and meeting other people on holidays enjoying as much as you do!!!
Thanks to Fun&Fly, the watersports travel agency from France with which I have organized this kitecamp, there will surely be more to come soon!!!
