I have never surfed before, is that a problem?
Absolutely not! The retreats are meant for all surfing levels. Our coaches are trained and certified to teach beginners everything they need to know, and to help improve intermediate/advanced surfers where needed.
​
Can I bring my own surfboard?
Certainly! We encourage our guests to bring their own board if they have one, as it will help with their surfing progression. If the surfing conditions don’t allow you to use your own material (for example having a shortboard when the waves are smaller), there is always the option to rent equipment from us. Besides that, there is plenty of space in the accommodation to safely store the board.
​
What additional activities do you offer?
During the retreat we will not only dive into the world of surfing but also explore Morocco a bit more! We offer the following activities:
- trip to Paradise Valley
- Souk in Agadir
- Imsouane day trip
- sand dune surfing
- Taghazout visit
​
Do you offer lunch and dinner?
Lunch: Yes, however, not every day. It’s either us that provides lunch for you
(in this case the cost is €5 per lunch), or we have lunch all together in a little café, restaurant… It depends on the planning of the day. The lunches that we have provided for you can be paid by cash or direct deposit at the end of your stay.
Dinner: Our kitchen team will treat us to delightful dinners each day. By the end of the week we will have dinner outside in a beautiful restaurant in Taghazout.
​
How to get there?
We are located in a small surfer town called Tamraght. Tamraght is about 50 minutes driving from Agadir airport and about 30 minutes from the city center.
We recommend you to book your flights to Agadir airport, however, the airport of Essaouira could be a 2nd option. Do note that Essaouira is about 2 hours driving from Tamraght.
​
Do you offer airport transfer?
Yes! Simply mention this in your booking request (along with your flight details) and we will arrange this for you. The cost is 300 dirhams (€30) one way.
​
Where can I get travel insurance?
Travel Insurance is highly recommended for all tourists traveling to Morocco. The Company recommends that travel insurance be purchased at the time of deposit to cover cancellation fees. Check if the insurance covers surfing.
