The equipment remains in the immediate vicinity of the spot.
What is storage on the beach for?
Storage is used to avoid transporting your equipment between the riad, the Medina and the beach. It is especially useful for wingfoil, kitesurfing and multi-day stays. You save time, protect your equipment and get to the water faster when the weather window is good.
In practice
Storage is used to avoid transporting your equipment between the riad, the Medina and the beach. It is especially useful for wingfoil, kitesurfing and multi-day stays. You save time, protect your equipment and get to the water faster when the weather window is good.
Storage is above all about repeated comfort
On a single day, carrying your equipment may seem acceptable. Over a full week, the difference becomes enormous: you avoid busy trips, wet bags in the room, sand in the taxi and improvised rinses in a shower that is too small.
It is also a way to better preserve the material. A foil or kite bar that remains rinsed, stored dry and handled in a space provided for that ages better than a equipment moved every evening between the beach, the Medina and the accommodation.
The problem it solves
You have bulky equipment, you sleep in a riad in the Medina, and you cannot bring everything back every evening through 80 cm wide cobbled streets, with a spiral staircase upon arrival. Without storage, you come home with a dripping foil and a wetsuit full of sand. With storage, you go home hands-free.
What is actually included
Secure storage in the club, approximately 20 meters from the water. Access with the team, fresh water rinsing area, compressor for inflation, organized hooks and shelves. Beach service: assistance with launching and landing on the spot.

For whom it is really useful
In practice, storage concerns almost all riders who come with their own equipment: kite, foil or surf. It becomes especially interesting when the stay exceeds three days, when you sleep in the Medina or when you want to do a series of sessions without carrying a damp equipment morning and evening.
The right reflex upon arrival
The simplest thing is to organize storage when you book your lessons, your rental or your accommodation. We then know how much volume to expect, what type of equipment you bring and how to save time from the first session.
What storage changes in a real week
The first day, storage mainly avoids the stress of installation. You know where to put the equipment, where to rinse, where to prepare for the session and who to ask for help if the wind picks up. From the second day, it becomes a routine: you arrive light, you collect the equipment and you go to the water.
For stays in the Medina, it is often the room that makes everything else coherent. You can choose a riad for its charm, its terrace or its location, without wondering if a kite cover or a mounted foil will fit up the stairs.
Storage is not only a practical service, it is a way of reducing small daily frictions. Less transportation, less sand in the rooms, less exposed equipment, more time to ride when the conditions are good.
