Yalah Surf Camp (Taghazout, Morocco)

ABOUT THE SURF CAMP

 

---

LOCATION AND SURF CONDITIONS

---

Taghazout was originally a fishing village and it’s still a genuine Moroccan place, rich in culture and traditions. This surfing capital of Morocco is a small and relaxed village situated about 20 km from Agadir. There are several world-class surf spots within walking distance of the camp and the area gets 330 days of sunshine per year, which comes apparent when you look at the environment; you are actually staying on the edge of the Sahara Desert.

ACCOMMODATION AND CATERING

The hostel fits 20 guests and offers good vibes and good times every day. Located only 50 meters from the ocean, the hostel is as central as can get and just minutes away from the restaurants, markets and massage places. Enjoy a nice cup of tea or just walk around and enjoy yourself. If you are looking to buy something, prepare for some negotiations since that’s a part of the tradition here. PS: it also has one of the best rooftop terrace in Taghazout.

The hostel is typically decorated in the Moroccan style, with exceptional views overlooking the well known surf spots (Panorama point, Hash point and Anchor point … etc) allwithin five minutes drive. We are located less than 50 meters from the surf spot hash point. Our tranquil house is shared with other surfers, living together in a very relaxed, familiar atmosphere and yoga vibe.

CATERING

Our breakfast consists of a variety of cooked and continental options. We stick true to the Moroccan spirit and love to feed our visitors!

 Our meals are infused with all the Moroccan spices and made by our local cooks, for dinner serving delicious vegetarian and fish tajines, salads and soups. Spread over a communal table, as the saying goes ‘the best way to eat is with others’. You’ll be sharing food, socialising and making new friends at the same time – making it the perfect place for all types of travelers. We also serve FREE couscous to our guests on Fridays! So don’t miss out on that!

 We offer local and vegetarian cuisine, however we do serve fish a few times a week and on occasion other meats. On these occasions there are always vegetarian options served alongside.

If you don’t eat fish, or have any other dietary requirements let us know upon booking and we will do our best to accommodate.

P.S: There are recommended restaurants and snack bars in the village that serve meat or vegetarian.

SURF COURSE AND ACTIVITIES

SURF COURSE DETAILS

---

We employ qualified surf instructors who have grown up shredding the waves all around the world and give their students quality lessons. Every morning, the team leaves for the best surf spot suiting the students’ level, where they will receive a two hour practical instruction followed by a two hour free-surf. Guests can use the boards as much as desired, so there is the possibility to spend all day in the water.

We take a logical, analytical approach which demystifies surfing allowing people of all ages and abilities to get into the sport. You will never hear us offering ambiguous advice like ‘feel the rhythm of the wave,’ instead we communicate specific body movements simply and concisely. Surfing can be broken down into specific skill sets which can be built on top of each other, accelerating progress and building confidence.

You’ll catch some fun waves during your stay with us but the point is that you leave knowing how to continue with your progression independently. In every lesson you’ll learn a specific skill but more importantly you’ll know why you’re learning it. This means that a clear road map of drills and skills will unfold in front of you for you to continue progressing with.There are a lot of things which are much easier to communicate with a white board, rather than in the water. So each day we have theory lessons covering every aspect of surfing including: swell forecasting; current rip; wind; board design; etiquette and judging, working on paddle technique, duck diving , turtle rolling and board agility.
