Saturday, July 25th, 2009

The team at Hooked on kitesurfing inconjunction with iKSurf Mag are organising an epic kiting trip to Dakhla Morocco… I know October seems a long way off while we are in the heat of the summer but to quash the winter-blues as it begin to rear it’s ugly head why not get in on an awesome trip to Dakhla which is a kitesurfing paradise.
