Description of this activity

An unmissable seaside resort in Senegal, Saly is also one of the best spots to learn kitesurfing. Its wide coastline, constant wind, and open sea make it an ideal playground for learning how to handle the kite and experience the thrill of gliding across the water.

The activity begins on the main beach, where conditions are safest. After a briefing on safety and wind control, the instructor will teach you the essential skills: preparing the equipment, steering the kite, and understanding the wind direction.
Once you have mastered these basics, it’s time to practice in the water. The instructor will accompany you every step of the way to ensure your comfort, safety, and rapid progress.
Beginners often manage to feel the pull of the wind and glide a few meters on the board during their very first session.

The experience takes place in a friendly and motivating atmosphere, typical of Saly. Between exercises, you can enjoy the lively seaside setting, with its golden beaches, fishing canoes, and seaside restaurants in the background.
