The Aftass Club Sidi Kaouki team are at your service to achieve this. You will learn the basics of standing up and catching a wave and surf at different surf spots along the coast.
Your surf teachers are very passionate surfers who love to infect you with the surf virus and get you addicted to this sport. With Aftass Club Sidi Kaouki, you can become a waterman or waterwoman. They teach you directly in front of their surf school in safe waters, a beautiful sandy beach, and without any obstacles to harm you. Safety is really important to Aftass Club Sidi Kaouki. Don’t worry, they will keep you and your material safe. All-year-round, they have waves to teach you surfing.
Your day will start at 10:00 and finish around 17:00, although they want you to get the most out of your time with them and in Morocco generally.
