It's been well over 20yrs, and I'd love to go back. We used to ride more south towards Diabat. Cleaner winds, better waves and more angle. Although Moulay can be a bit overcrowded and mostly a windsurf spot, there is a long stretch of beach a few kms north, we parked the rental Fiat Uno on the side...

Are people winging there? I was there 10 years ago (before winging existed), but I would love to go back. Seems like a great setup for winging from my memory. Gusts like that aren't too big a deal winging. Few wings yes, mostly kites with twintips. Will prob give wings a go at some point, but i do ...

Yeah it can be very up and down there however it only needs to shift a few degrees and the wind can clean up, also it's better further down the bay towards the rock that sticks out before the second bay It did improve the further you went down the beach, but still not appealing.. probably the next ...

We were at a windy but gusty Essaouira recently. Beautiful spot, nice waves and lots of wind, but very shifty to the point that i preferred surfing. Would go from 20+ to i reckon high 30’s in a second. Kites were overflying all the time and i was getting lofted Wind comes im over the town so i guess...

I didnt know there was such a thing, thanks for the tip, i’ll check it out!

Ive replaced a number of futures finboxes in the last few years, my approach has been to dig out the old one and put in a new one and fill the gaps with epoxy. (In the past i didnt even cover over with cloth :nono: ) Looking into it, i see the proper way is to fill up the foam, rout out the new box ...

I have 5-7-9 neo set up, at 70kg riding a surfboard and also find that the 7-5 gap is too large. I like to ride smallest kite possible and often have to really work the 5m hard. Although i can justify the spend, likely i will fill the gap with a 6m, cant see anyway round it if you like to want to ke...

Old kites would be the way id go as a beginner, something you wont mind crashing. I recently sold some old gear i had from around 2012, both rebels for about £100 each. They were both still great kites, stable and in perfectly usable condition, i doubt a beginner would notice any difference between ...

Whateve knife you go for, i suggest to put it on a thin bungee cord (or attach a float to it). Very easy to drop / lose knife in the sea (i have!), especially bad if that happens when you most need it!

I stopped kiting in lighter winds years ago preferring waves (we only get wind swell at my spot), I never even use my 12m kite anymore. Now im actually looking fwd to getting out in light winds and small waves with the skim, will be fun learning some tricks and reckon it will be good prqctice/board ...
