"Great experience with surf and yoga"
Me and my friend booked the full package - surf and yoga camp with accommodation and food. Even though we booked in the last minute, the communication and planning went really smoothly. Charaf was very accommodating and welcomed us very warmly. The room we stayed at was really nice, comfortable and clean and the location was great. The surf classes were very useful - I'm a first-time surfer and Charaf did a great job at explaining everything well. In general, we were very well taken care of. We had great food, great yoga classes and great surf classes. It was also nice that we had plenty of free time in the afternoon so it didn't feel as action-packed as retreats often can feel. We had time to walk around and relax at our own pace and the schedule was very flexible - mostly depended on us. Still, we did a lot and it felt like we really took everything we could out of this experience. I highly recommend it.

"An amazing experience!! :) "
Charaf is passionate for what he does, he welcomed us in the best way (with a typical dish of Morocco). He is flexible with the schedule of activities and we had an immersion experience in the country.
The yoga lessons were great, we did one of the three lessons in the beach during the morning, it was awesome. Thanks to the instructor (Rahni) he was very good and kind.
And surf lessons were very professional, we really improved in a short period of time. The best part is that we had an excellent approach with the individual lessons with Charaf.
We had a really good time with the camel ride as well, we have a lot of nice pictures of that moment with the sunset in the same time, that was a life experience.
And the accommodation is nice, you have all you need for two persons and Charaf is really close and available. The terrace is really lovely.
Charaf took us to a nice restaurants to discover the super tasty Moroccan food, and once we had a live music during the dinner :)
We cannot thank you enough for your kindness and good vibes every day!
We will come back for sure, and we recommend this camp at 100%.

"Surf/yoga"
Despite it being the very early hours of the morning, we were welcomed with a smile by the lovely Charaf. We initially stayed in the rooftop studio which has an amazing raised bed with a window to the stars, we loved the views from the rooftop terrace. We also spent a couple of nights in the first floor apartment which was very spacious and has everything you need. The cafe downstairs which is owned by Charaf’s family, served us amazing breakfasts everyday apart from on one day when it was closed, so Charaf took us to another local café. You must try the Espanyol breakfast which had the most amazing tomato salsa, also highly recommend are the pizzas, all delicious and always served with a smile by very friendly staff. We booked yoga and surfing, my partner is experienced in yoga but I was a beginner, the yoga instructors looked after me well. I didn’t participate in the surfing but my partner absolutely loved it. We even did some paddle boarding, Charaf is a very patient instructor, I had never done paddle boarding before but he managed to get me to stand up! He kept us informed of schedules and took us to and from our activities. He went the extra mile with us and he was super helpful recommending local restaurants, all of which we tried and they were amazing. He even recommend another place to stay after we left him which again was fantastic. Charaf and his family made our experience in Essaouira fabulous and we both highly recommend Come surfing.

"Great place to learn to surf"
As a beginner, I had to start from the scratch. Charaf offered great guidance to get me to stand on the board on the day one and guided me to better my technique, reading of the coming waves and understanding the body positioning and reacting. I really enjoyed the experience and I am considering to return and better my skills in the future.
Also bakery staff and family were very welcoming. And do ask Charaf for tips on local place to eat... that's an experience on its own!

Maravilloso, vives una experiencia totalmente local. Charaf nos hizo la estancia sencilla y completa, alejada de la mítica experiencia de turista.
Fue atento y detallista, repetiría sin duda.

The personal service and the helpful feedbacks while surfing are more than you can ask for.

Thank you for the unforgettable moments 🙏

"Great surging and holiday experience for couples!!❤️"
My partner and I are absolute beginners with surfing. As such, we were quite nervous at the beginning, but Charaf's positive energy and patience put us at ease throughout the whole experience. We were lucky enough to be the only people in this camp, which meant we had very specific instructions and teaching for most of the time. It was really helpful and we progressed a lot in a short period of time.
Charaf was also a great photo/videographer. He was always keen to take photos and videos of our surfing as well as for general our holiday memories.
As a mobile surfing camp, we were able to explore a variety of different beaches/waves suited to our surfing ability. We wouldn't have been able to try out and explore Imesouane + Sidi kaouki without Charaf.
On top of this, we loved the accommodation we booked which Charaf manages. The interior design was amazing and the staff were very attentive; making us great Moroccan style breakfast every morning.
The yoga sessions after the first 3 days of surfing were also brilliant. The yoga instructor guided us to do more couple poses which we absolutely loved and enjoyed.
The overall experience was amazing, Charaf was a star instructor and guide on all fronts. Recommend 100%!! Be prepared for that your muscles will be sore and you'll be dreaming of waves by the time you return.

"Great Experience in the rooftop apartment"
Charaf was a great host who was always caring for his guests. He quickly responded via WhatsApp and always took care of our concerns, in the end he took us to the next accommodation and organized an airport shuttle for the way back home. He was friendly and helpful in every situation and we would book with him again.
He also helped us to get to another level of Surfing by giving individual advises and watching us closely.

"Don’t hesitate it’s the best you can hope ! "
I spend such a nice time in Essaouira thanks to Charaf, I even stay longer and didn’t want to get back home! Everything was perfect! Surfing was very well instructed and we adapt to get to the beach at the best moment for surfing each day, accommodation were very clean and spacious; if your traveling alone 10/10 for the studio, I loved it! Food and breakfast were delicious! Plus for other activities such as yoga or horse ridding, we really enjoyed ourself each times ! And if you want a moment for you, don’t hesitate with Charaf hammam recommandation!
Thanks for everything, I miss it, see you very soon Come surfing! <3

"A must book! Great for beginner or experienced surfers&yogis"
The people, surfing and food were my highlights, although every aspect was a highlight really. Charaf was an excellent host and really genuinely made my trip 10 times better than I imagined it could be. As well as being the surf teacher, he made a daily effort to help me experience the town, culture and cuisine, which was ideal for me being on this holiday solo.
It was my first time ever surfing and he was a great, patient teacher whilst always making sure it was entertaining. I haven't stopped watching surfing videos and searching for my next surfing holiday since I returned home 2 weeks ago.
Charaf's hospitality really was incredible. The rooftop/apartment complex has a family owned bakery with bakery goods, a range of omlettes for breakfast and pizza for dinner.
I try to not visit the same place twice, but if there was somewhere I would return to, it would be Essaouria and I would look forward to meeting up with Charaf again.

"AMAZING!"
At first I was afraid to choose this camp because there were no reviews, but after very careful research, we decided to take this one and we could not be happier!
Charaf is an amazing person. Not only a really good trainer, but also a very sincere and warm guy. He doesn’t let you give up and believes in you even when you don’t believe in yourself anymore. Other good thing was that there’s no big group of people, we basically got all of the attention. Also, later we got to see how others are taught to surf and, in my opinion, Charaf’s way of teaching is better. It’s also amazing that we got to check out Imsouane and Sidi Kaouki. The day at Imsouane was simply perfection! ♥
The accommodation (rooftop studio) was super nice with a wonderful view. The location was in a calm part of the town, next to a hill where’s a great viewpoint, really close to the ocean but also not far from where all the buzz is. Essaouira is not a big town, but a really nice and cozy place to stay.
The meals that we tried were all so good. Every morning we got to have breakfast in Charaf’s brother’s bakery downstairs where there were working super friendly girls. And for every lunch Charaf took us to a different local place and all of them served amazing food. We would have never found those spots if it wasn’t for him.
Yoga sessions at the rooftop - ♥. A bit hard for us beginners, but the best way to start the day.
Also, we got a lot of videos and photos of us, thank you. We will miss all of you!
