Youssef was our surf instructor. He was very patient and made our experience very enjoyable. We had plenty of time and as there was only 2 of us he was able to give us lots of feedback. Well worth the trip! Excellent.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊 We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your surf lesson with Youssef. His patience, personalized coaching, and passion for teaching are qualities we truly value, and we're glad they helped make your experience both fun and rewarding. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back to Essaouira for more waves and good times soon! 🌊🏄♂️🤙
The best surf school in Essaouira! The owner is lovely and very honest (he advised us against going on a day that was not favorable for surfing and suggested waiting for another day without knowing if we would return) big shoutout to Najib who was a fantastic teacher!! I recommend it with my eyes closed
Merci beaucoup pour ce superbe retour ! 😊 Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié votre expérience avec nous. Nous croyons qu’il est important de toujours privilégier les meilleures conditions pour que chacun profite pleinement de sa session, et votre appréciation nous fait très plaisir. Un grand merci pour votre mention spéciale à Najib, nous ne manquerons pas de lui transmettre vos compliments ! 🤙 Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau à Essaouira pour de nouvelles vagues et de bons moments sur l’eau. 🌊🏄♂️
I have never tried surfing before. For a total beginner who cannot swim at all I am very pleased with the lesson and with overall experience. If you want to try surfing in Marroco, this is the place!
Thank you so much for this amazing review 🙏🌊 We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed your first surfing experience with us, especially as a complete beginner 😊 Our instructors always make safety, patience, and good vibes the priority, so it means a lot to know you felt comfortable and confident in the water even without swimming experience 💙 Thank you for your trust, and we hope to see you again soon in Essaouira for more waves 🤙
I haven’t had this much fun in a long time—what a wonderful experience! I wasn’t sure I would be able to stand up on the board, but I managed really well for a beginner, thanks to my amazing instructor. I can’t wait to see you again in October.
Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏🌊 We’re really happy to hear you had such a fun experience with us! Standing up on the board for the first time is always a special feeling, and you did amazing 💪 Big thanks from your instructor as well 😊 We always try to make beginners feel comfortable, confident, and enjoy every moment in the water. Can’t wait to see you again in October for more waves and good vibes 🤙
A cool atmosphere and authentic and respectful approach to local tourism. I recommend the qualitative surf courses. It was our very first time and we had great feelings thanks to our experienced instructor. He's a great teacher and patient. We learned very well with him and took a lot. Thanks again for this great course, we recommend 100%!
Merci beaucoup pour ce super retour 🙏 On est trop contents que votre première expérience en surf se soit aussi bien passée 🌊 Toute l’équipe essaie de garder cette ambiance simple, authentique et respectueuse de l’esprit local d’Essaouira, donc ça fait vraiment plaisir à lire 😊 Un grand merci pour vos mots sur le moniteur, sa pédagogie et sa patience 🙌 On espère vous revoir bientôt pour une prochaine session à l’eau 🤙
We had a great time with our instructor Youssef! From the beginning he welcomed us and taught us what the basics of surfing were and followed us throughout the lesson giving us valuable advice. Although it was the first time for the four of us, after a short time we all managed to ride some waves. It was great fun, I recommend it to everyone. Thank you so much Youssef! <3
So stoked to hear that 🤙 Big love for the kind words! Youssef is a legend and we’re hyped he made your first surf session such a sick experience 🌊🔥 First time and already riding waves? That’s what we like to hear!! Glad you had a blast with us — you guys smashed it 💪 Come back anytime for more waves and good vibes! 🏄♂️
A top monitor! Although at the time of booking the French language was offered, the course was in English but understandable for someone who had a little command of the language! The surf session was very enjoyable especially with the wetsuit considering the water temperature in October! A little disappointed to see that the included photos were only a photo before going to the beach, I would have liked to keep memories standing on the board! The hot shower was also missing, fortunately the water was cold so as not to contrast with the shower temperature! Thank you for the memories!
merci beacoup Sarah pour votre avis qui nous as fait un grand plaisir ainsi de savoir ce que vous as gene de notre part comme ca on vas essayer le max de fixer ca..merci encore une fois et nhesitez pas a revenir pour plus de plaisir dans l*eau
Turned out that because my arms are shorter than my legs this type of surfing isn't for me. But I had lots of fun. Friendly and helpful staff.

Fantastic outfit. The whole team all go above and beyond.They advised me which days and times would be good to surf for my ability level. The pick up and drop off to the hotel was seamless. If you want a friendly, honest, and fun experience use these guys. Top job Rashid and all the team. Thank you so much for a fun couple of surfs.

Last week, my mom and I booked surf lessons here with Anouar, and it was so much fun! He explained everything very clearly, had a lot of patience with us, and really helped us learn how to surf. The rest of the staff here is also amazing and very kind. I am definitely coming back! Special thanks to Anouar, Younes (one of the owners), who also helped us out in general in Essaouira, and Suleiman for taking beautiful pictures and videos of me and my mom. Shokran! Definitely recommending this place to everyone!
