Program
Local Surf Maroc keeps the group sizes small to make sure abilities within the group don’t vary too much. This is so no one feels held back when they’re ready to progress or left behind if they need a bit more time mastering a skill. Small groups also let them create a surfing holiday experience that’s unique and personalized to you.
Rachid of Local Surf Maroc will be helping the intermediate surfer time the wave properly at Banana Point, Aourir, Taghazout Bay, Morocco.
If you’re able to catch white wash consistently, the surf instructors will help you read the waves and where they break so you can master your turns. If you’re feeling ambitious, you’ll even paddle out to the green waves and give them a try. Able to catch green waves but struggling to be consistent? Looking to try out a different surf board but feel unsure which one to try?
Local Surf Maroc’s Surf Coaches are knowledgeable and will make the best suggestion for your surf ability, and maybe even suggest a challenge if you’re up for it! The surf coaches review surf conditions daily and on the spot to make sure the conditions are suitable for your progression as well. This means they might suggest a different board to try or change the surf spot at the last second so you can get the most out of your surf sessions.
They recommend a minimum stay of seven day to help you see the most progression in your surfing. However, any length of stay with them you will be sure to build on the fundamentals you already know, increase your confidence in your ability, and expand your surf theory knowledge.
While they take surfing seriously, they aren’t a boot camp! Any surf lesson or activity can be skipped and an alternative activity arranged (please note some charges may apply). Your stay with them is your experience and the aim is to make sure you leave Morocco with the best memories.
Daily schedule
At Local Surf Maroc, the focus is in progression and this requires a personalized approach for each level they teach. How do they do this? Surf instructors check the conditions the night before and make a prediction on what time is best to surf and which surf spot is likely to be working for your level. This is to ensure that you get the most out of each surf session.
