Moulay Bouzerktoun

Overview

Dreaming of forward looping?
The definitive looping clinic with perfect side-shore conditions with perfectly formed ramps, there are few places more more suited for mastering the forward loop. Set in peaceful rustic surroundings, Moulay Bouzerktoun offers little distraction whilst you focus on giving your windsurfing the boost it deserves!

We will cover the acclaimed Baker Academy of 3-stage looping technique to help you on your way:

1. The first stage is all about jumping and ensuring your body is above your feet
2. Stage two is make or break time as we start rotating, bring it on!
3. Then we put both the moves together, this is the Baker Academy way to learn to loop and guarantees you will be rotating before you return!

Centre
For this clinic we will be using the latest and greatest Fanatic/North equipment supplied by Magic Fun Afrika, conveniently located near the beach. In the unlikely event that you will experience a no-wind day, you will have access to stand-up paddleboards so forget your lie-ins and live to the max!

If SUP'ing is not your bag, then a relaxing stroll through the rustic village of Moulay Bouzerktoun and the nearby UNESCO registered Medina in Essaouira are well worth the effort.

Fitness
As per normal on Baker Academy clinics, there will be fitness and stretching for those who want the full treatment.

Accommodation and food
This clinic will be housed in shared rooms on a full-board basis. Breakfast and evening meal will be local style – good wholesome food such as tajines, cous-cous or fish BBQs.

Perfect sunset sessions...
