8 Days Intermediate Surf Camp Tamraght, Morocco

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 personalized 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 maneuvers 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.

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.

Imsouane

Imsouane is home to the longest right-hand wave in Morocco and the favorite surf day trip! This traditional fishing village is approximately a 90-minute drive from the surf camp, along with the coastal road to the north. On entering the village, you will be greeted by the mix of its traditional fishing village roots and budding surf culture. This surf spot is home to two breaks, The Bay which has the longest wave in Morocco and The Cathedral - both are suitable for all level of surfers and work on opposite tides which means you can spend the morning surfing one spot, eat lunch, and then hop over to the over spot.

Our all-inclusive surf packages include all of your meals, breakfast, lunch, and dinner! We start the day with a tasty and delicious breakfast buffet with a range of food options including eggs, cereals, breads, spreads, and fresh seasonal fruits as well as tea, coffee and juices.
