In a few words
Five days of surf trip to discover the two faces of the Moroccan Atlantic coast. From our surf house in Tamraght, you will first surf the spots of Taghazout Bay, Anchor Point, Killers, Boilers or the more tranquil breaks of Banana Point, with a local instructor who chooses the best spot each morning according to the wind and swell.
Then head north to Imsouane, a small fishing port with its legendary right-hand break, one of the longest waves in Morocco. Hundreds of meters standing on your board, whether you're progressing or already independent. Lunch of grilled fish overlooking the port, return at sunset.
An afternoon takes you to the wild Tamri beach and its dunes, nestled between the ocean and banana plantations, for a secluded picnic. Everything is included: transfer from Agadir, full board at the house, equipment, transportation, and excursions. A stay for curious surfers, respecting the waves and local culture.

The expert's opinion
This trip is a true surf guiding experience, designed for advanced to experienced surfers who are independent in the waves. There are no basic lessons here: you must already know how to paddle efficiently, manage your take-off on your own, ride the wave, and position yourself correctly in the line-up.
This independence is essential: it allows you to surf alongside locals, safely, at the best spots in the bay and at the right time, away from the crowds. Everyone remains in control of their own waves, respecting the spot and the local surfers.
You , on the other hand, focus on your surfing and your enjoyment. Objective: the best waves of the moment, in freedom and at maximum pleasure.
📸 Optional on request: photos of your sessions to keep a souvenir of your trip.

Simo is a child of Casablanca, born and raised by the ocean. The sea is his whole life: he first made his mark in bodyboarding competitions before dedicating himself to surfing, which he has practiced and lived daily for many years.
For about ten years, he has been based in Taghazout Bay, but his playground is the entire Moroccan Atlantic coast: he knows the spots like the back of his hand and knows exactly where to take you to surf the best waves at the right time, in complete safety.
What truly sets Simo apart is his exceptional kindness and infectious passion for surfing. Patient, attentive, and always in a good mood, he puts you at ease from the very first session. With him, you'll surf in a great atmosphere, feeling confident and having the time of your life.
Our entire team of instructors reflects Simo's values: qualified and certified instructors, chosen as much for their skills as for their attitude. Passionate and caring, they guide each session with patience and attentiveness, adapting to each individual's level and goals. Their absolute priority remains your safety: conditions are analyzed before each outing, the location is carefully chosen, and they provide close supervision in the water. With them, you'll progress with confidence and in a fun atmosphere.

Every morning, we start with a good, local breakfast at the surf house, a relaxing time to wake up properly. Then comes our favorite part: checking the conditions. Depending on the swell, wind, and tide, your guide chooses the best spot of the day—the one where the wave breaks best and where there are as few people as possible.
Once the ideal spot is found, we load the boards into the car and yallah, off we go! Head towards the best waves of the moment, to surf in peace and have fun.
Back home in the afternoon, we settle down for a delicious snack and mint tea to recharge. Then, free time: a walk, exploring the surroundings, relaxing… enjoy it however you like . And at the end of the day, we all meet up for sunset on the rooftop, sharing a lovely dinner together.
We repeat this ritual every day for 5 days: new spot, new waves, and great evenings, always in the right place at the right time.

An early start, surfboards on the roof, heading north along the coastal road. An hour and a half later, Imsouane appears: a small fishing port nestled at the foot of the cliffs, and in the bay, a right-hand wave that breaks for hundreds of meters. We surf the legendary wave of Morocco, the one where you stay standing until your legs are shaking, regardless of your skill level.
Picnic on the beach, then we take our time: a stroll through the village streets, tea overlooking the boats, and the fishermen returning home. On the way back, a stop at the Tamri dunes, nestled between the ocean and banana plantations, for sunset, and, if the group still has energy, a sandboarding session. Back to the surf house for a well-deserved dinner.
