The Perfect Location
The course is based around the fishing village of Taghazout in the South West of Morocco. Taghazout has developed a reputation as the best winter surfing destination within a short haul flight of Europe, which is why Kelly Slater would surf there when he got time off from the ASP tour.
Most of the time you’ll be around the Taghazout surf camp, situated right on top of Hash Point, one of the most famous surf spots. The surfing line-up in the area is truly exceptional, with both easy learner beach breaks and world class point breaks, all within a 15km stretch of coastline.
Who's It For?
This course is ideal for those on career breaks or gap years, who want a fulfilling and unique life experience. There is a heavy surf focus, but previous experience isn’t necessary; we’ll train everyone from beginners through to advanced surfers.
Don’t be fooled by the chilled vibe of the surfer lifestyle. This is a demanding and challenging sport with a flatter learning curve than most other adventure sports. You’ll need a good level of fitness and a positive attitude to push through when the going gets tough. We’re confident though that even with no surf experience, if you’re willing to be taught, we can take you from Zero to Hero.

We've put together virtually everything you'll need for your course, so that you can just relax, focus on your surfing, and go with the flow. Check out the Course Fact File for details of the full package.
