My Story

First steps in kitesurfing

I started kitesurfing in Dakhla in 2010, on the lagoon where I grew up. Riding almost every day helped me build a strong connection with the spot and understand its conditions deeply.

First Teaching Experience

I began working as an assistant instructor. This was my first real step into teaching, learning how to guide riders safely and adapt to different levels.
