Dakhla is a thin desert peninsula on Morocco's southern Atlantic coast, wrapping a vast flat-water lagoon that has become one of the world's great kite playgrounds. The trade winds blow steady and side-shore for most of the year, the lagoon turns waist-deep and butter-flat at the right tide, and the ocean side serves up waves for those who want them.
