CAMP OPERATOR

---

JALAL is the owner of the Surf Camp - the head of our little family. As a great surfer and instructor himself, he knows what a surfer´s heart needs and therefore made the Camp a place to feel at home. He´s been catching waves in Morocco since the '80s! Growing up in Rabat, the north of Morocco, he always felt a connection to the ocean. In 2005, he made the move south to the surf-rich region around Taghazout and Tamraght, where he found his new home in Tamraght. He fell in love with the waves, got to know the best surf spots, and discovered his passion for teaching. So in 2007, he made his dream a reality by opening his own surf camp and hostel. Ever since, he has been sharing the beauty of the ocean with people from all walks of life, teaching and living the surf life he loves!

Together with Amine, our surf enthusiast; Abdo, our Social Media Manager; Dorothy Still, our dedicated surf instructor; John Morgan, our trainer; and Tilda Klaus, our yoga instructor, we're here to create an unforgettable surf experience for you. Each of us brings our unique passion and expertise to make sure every moment is memorable, from catching waves to unwinding on the shore. Join us, and let’s make waves and memories together!
