6 Day Intermediate Surf Camp in Tamraght

Facilities

What to expect

This intermediate surf package is ideal for surfers who already have some experience in the water and are confident in the unbroken green waves. Shaka Surf Morocco provides you with all the surf kit, lessons, and tailored feedback to help you perfect your surfing technique, becoming a stronger and more confident surfer.

The intermediate surfers travel to a range of local surf spots (beach breaks and point breaks). Shaka Surf Morocco's priority is to make sure you see an improvement in your surfing over the week and leave with some great personalised tips. They want to provide quality, not quantity, which is why they keep their group sizes to a maximum of four students per instructor.

What you will learn

These lessons build upon your current knowledge of surfing which will be discussed with you on your first day of surfing. You will join the instructors in paddling out to the lineup, where instructors goal is to help you increase the speed and frequency of waves you catch, progress in your manoeuvres including cutbacks and bottom turns as well as develop your surfing style.

The onshore lessons combined with coaching in the water make sure you get the most time to develop and improve your surfing style and confidence as well as learning some advanced surf theory. Shaka Surf Morocco hopes that after a week with them you will have caught some rides to remember, developed your surfing style, and made some awesome new surf buddies.

Paradise Valley

This spot is famous for its natural beauty with an abundance of wildlife, palm trees, rivers, natural water pools and water slides. After a short hike down into the valley, you will have free time to explore the surroundings, go for a swim, soak up some rays, and dare you to do a rock jump? A traditional tagine lunch will be taken in one of the poolside cafes, giving you the chance to refuel and take some shade before heading back out.

The camp will take place in Tamraght, Morocco. Shaka Surf Morocco is a friendly all-level surf school and surf camp based in the relaxed surf village of Tamraght, which is nestled on the sunny south coast, 30 minutes from Agadir.
