Group Surfing lessons
with local instructors.

A 2-hour group surfing lesson in Taghazout with local Moroccan instructors, typically run on the sandy beach break at Taghazout Bay or the calmer Anchor Point area depending on conditions and swell size. Groups are kept to a ratio of one instructor per four to six students, which gives enough individual attention without the cost of a private session. The lesson starts on dry sand with a 20-minute briefing covering wave theory, the parts of the board, paddling technique, and the pop-up movement. Once in the water, each student practises catching whitewash - broken waves - before attempting to catch the face of unbroken waves as ability allows. Boards are soft-top longboards (foamies) provided with the session; these are safe and stable for learners. Wetsuit rental is included. Local instructors at Taghazout have typically surfed here their whole lives and understand the break intimately, which translates into well-timed pushes at exactly the right moment. By the end of a 2-hour session, most beginners will have stood up at least a few times. This is a good value option for travellers who want to try surfing without the commitment of a full day or multi-day course.
