Windsurfing is the main sport activity in Essaouira. There are constant winds that pass this cape town. I saw quite a lot young wind-surfers from Europe coming to Essaouira just to practice it there. It's just cheaper to live and do that in Essaouira than in any European windsurfing center.
Equipment: You should bring your own equipment. Although I noticed commercials of hotels and clubs that they rent equipment and help with the rest.
