Outside of the kitesurfing scene, Dakhla has a culture that cannot be unseen. Our crew and some GKA riders spent the final day experiencing what else this watersports hotspot has to offer, and it did not disappoint 🇲🇦

If you missed any of the action, don’t forget that you can head to our Youtube channel and re-watch the highlights and the livestream from the event.

Congratulations to @zoe__bazile, the Brittany ripper who blasted her way to the semi finals in her first event. Meanwhile @gabrielmbenetton may have finished second at the Qatar Airways GKA Big Air world championships and also be U19 Youth strapless world champion, but this was his first full Kite Surf world tour event and he finished 9th. We look forward to seeing what they will achieve next!

Today, GKA riders participated in a beach clean-up and taught local kids the basics of kitesurfing. Kitesurfing helps focus the mind and can keep kids out of trouble and away from bad influences. Providing support and a chance to develop, it’s not just about kitesurfing; it’s about creating value and showing them there are possible future opportunities in the kitesurfing industry.

The wind is picking up and it looks like we’ll have a windy afternoon with a great action in front of @westpointdakhla Hotel. Make sure you tune in on our YouTube and Facebook platforms from 4pm local time.

A day of no wind and small waves gave everyone a day of relaxation and enjoyment of the Dakhla surroundings. GKA crew and riders were making the most of ocean time playing around with all the toys!

Tomorrow, we’re back to action with the Strapless Freestyle Super Session in front of the @westpointdakhla Hotel. We’ll be livestreaming all the heats as soon as the wind kicks in so make sure you tune in on our YouTube and Facebook platforms from 4pm local time.
