ABOUT THE SURF CAMP

LOCATION AND SURF CONDITIONS

---

 Morocco, officially the Kingdom of Morocco, is a country located in North Africa. It has a population of nearly 32 million and an area of 710.850 km². Morocco has a coast on the Atlantic Ocean that reaches past the Strait of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean Sea. It is bordered by Spain to the north (a water border through the Strait and land borders with three small Spanish exclaves, Ceuta, Melilla, and Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera), Algeria to the east, and Mauritania to the south.

Morocco is a constitutional monarchy with an elected parliament. The King of Morocco holds vast executive powers, including dissolving parliament. Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the two chambers of parliament, the Assembly of Representatives and the Assembly of Councillors. Parliamentary elections were held in Morocco on 7 September 2007, and were considered by observers as mostly free and fair; although voter turnout was estimated to be 37%, the lowest in Moroccan political history. The political capital is Rabat, and the largest city is Casablanca; other large cities includes Fes, Salé, Agadir, Marrakesh, Tangier, Meknes, Oujda and Tetouan.

Go Surf Morocco is located in the Agadir region of southern Morocco. Bananabeach village is a unique spot on Morocco’s Atlantic coast. Conveniently located 45 min from Agadir international airport it’s a short hop ( 2-4 hrs) from most central European cities. It’s the closest place for any European surfer to get year round warm water, perfect waves and a unique cultural experience.

Brahim IDDOUCH

Originally from Agadir. His career has started in 2004 on the beach of Taghazout,Morocco's leading surfing beach, in a local association that trains local youth to surf. He later joined the professional international rounds in 2008 confronting the biggest names in bodyboarding in various competitions that were  held in Morocco. Thanks to sponsors and hard work, Brahim could, at last, participate in competitions of IBA (International Bodyboarding Association) world tour. The world tour has 8 stages in different spots around the world and accounts for the world bodyboard championship. Brahim’s dream became true when he gained sponsoring of RIPCURL and SPRITE, allowing him to participate in the different stages of the tours and the achievement that was not expected. Indeed, last September, he won the Brazilian tour of the IBA world tour and moved to the head of the men's draw. He is shining high up in the international scene and promises to fight for a place in the Grand Slam Series. Brahim has brought with him unique experiences, knowledge and skills to Go Surf Morocco. He has taught thousands of lessons over the previous years with excellent feedback and results. He is one of the best !

SURF CONDITIONS

Seasonal conditions

Morocco is an all year round destination for great surf and great weather. Surf Maroc is open all year. The summer months (April - October) see small to medium swells with surf mostly on the beaches and reefs on the more exposed north west coast. This is a great time for anyone looking for fun, uncrowded warm water surf. There are some bigger days during this time for those looking for something more challenging. During the winter months the waves, that have made Morocco famous, come to life. There is a huge variety of surf in this area of Morocco. There are not many places like it in the whole. The region has something for everyone, from ideal beginner waves to challenging reef ledges. Intermediates and those new to the sport should not be put off or worried. Due to the nature of the coastline there is almost always somewhere sheltered and manageable, and those looking for something challenging won’t be disappointed. Morocco is blessed with well over 300 days of sunshine a year. Between the months November to February there is a small chance of rain, although statistically it is unlikely. Typical wave size and temperatures.Your choice of wetsuit comes down to personal choice and tolerance. The best all rounder is a 3/2mm full suit.

SURROUNDINGS / REGION

Activities and facilities

Taghazout and the surrounding area offer a whole range of other activities. If you feel like a break from surfing or for those of you who don't surf then horse and camel riding and quad biking are all close by and easily organized. For those who’d like to relax there are miles of empty golden sandy beaches to discover or you can sunbathe and chill out in the privacy of the villa or your apartment. The souq's of Agadir provide the quintessential Moroccan shopping experience. Two day trips to the ancient city of Marrakech can be organized. The beautiful seaside town of Essaouira is only two and half hours north and is a popular one or two day trip. There is a great market (souq) in Agadir which has all the stuff you would expect in Morocco: an abundance of leather goods, woodwork, ceramics, rugs, carpets, jewellery and clothing. Non threatening haggling is part of the fun! There is also a small market in Taghazout’s village square that sells local wares.

There are an abundance of restaurants and cafes in Taghazout, including our own Auberge restaurant on the sea front. The are plenty of grocery shops selling fruit, vegetable and other essentials. There is a well stocked pharmacy and four surf shops. There are also lots of internet cafes with ADSL connection. Alcohol can be bought in Agadir not Taghazout.

There are a few surf shops in Taghazout. They now stock a fair bit of hardware: leashes, wax, deckgrip etc. The surf board and clothing selection is also growing. Most of the shops offer board repairs, they are often great value and of good quality.

Ways to get to the camp

You can arrive at any time. It is not always possible to have your place ready before 2pm. If you do want to arrive early and your room isn’t immediately available, start enjoying yourself anyway – we’ll take care of your bags and get you started on whatever service you have chosen. Check out is officially 12pm, but if you would like a later check out, let us know and we’ll do our best.

Independent Surfer and Apartment stays
We provide airport transfers to and from the airport. From then on you have a hire car at your disposal for the rest of your stay. Please ensure you have the original of a valid EU driving license which must have been held for at least one year. The law insists that you always carry your driving license and car hire documents with you when driving in Morocco. Seat belts must be worn at all times and you must not use your mobile phone whilst driving (a fining offense). Police and Gendarmerie checkpoints are based every few kilometers along the routes.

Minor infringements will result in your having to make an on-the-spot payment. In Morocco, as in Europe driving is on the right. The main roads around Taghazout are good. In addition, when driving in Morocco, we advise you to drive slowly and carefully as the roads are generally narrower and may sometimes have bumps and potholes, especially after periods of rain.

We do ask that you take particular care when driving, bearing in mind the conditions of your hire car rental agreement.

Please bring roof straps if you have them.
