//Trip to DAKHLA Morocco // 14 to 28th january 2009 //
Soufiane is on his way to the Western Sahara, to the magical kitespot of Dakhla.
Soufiane is going to be doing some training for the next few weeks, as well as
running a kite camp and clinic from January 19th to the 26th. Dakhla is a kiters paradise
with a massive 50km lagoon that's rideable at all tide states.
The north easterly wind is prevailant and makes for almost constant winds in Dakhla all year
round. As well as the flat water lagoon, Dakhla boasts some amazing wave spots
on the coast. Check back soon for photos and videos from the trip.

// ESSAOUIRA KITEBOARD WORLD CUP // 1 to 9th november 2008 //
November 1st to the 8th, Soufiane was extremely busy both organizing and participating
in the Essaourira World Cup. The event was a huge success thanks to the amazing wind
and wave conditions. The freestyle competition was held in the bay of Essaouira, where
they were fortunate to have three full days of wind for the competition.
Once that was completed, everyone moved on to Moulay for the Wavemaster.
The conditions were fantastic, three metre waves and 25knots of sideshore wind, just perfect!
Soufiane finished 10th in the 2008 overall ranking. Next he will travel to Dakhla
for some training before the 2009 season gets going!
