Here is a number that should make you pause: Tour 117 charges EUR520 for a seven-day surf-only week in Taghazout. This one gives you eight days - surf coaching plus skateboard training sessions - for EUR484. More days, more activities, less money, and a perfect 5.0/5 rating across 60 reviews. The surfskate element is not a gimmick either - skating mimics the movements of surfing on land and genuinely accelerates your progress in the water. This is the better deal.
What actually happens
You check into a surf camp in Taghazout and spend the week alternating between ocean and concrete. Mornings are dedicated to surf lessons with ISA-certified instructors who work in small groups - the operator emphasises individual feedback and guaranteed progress. Afternoons bring surfskate sessions, where you practise turns, bottom turns, and cutbacks on a skateboard designed to replicate the feel of a surfboard. Meals are cooked daily by local chefs - proper Moroccan food, not hostel fare. There is also a day trip to the fishing village of Imsouane, which doubles as a cultural excursion and a chance to surf one of Morocco’s most famous right-hand point breaks.
Our honest take
The perfect rating is not surprising once you understand the format. Surf camps live or die on community and coaching quality, and this operator clearly nails both. ISA certification means instructors have been independently assessed, and the small group sizes mean you actually improve rather than just paddling around in a crowd. The surfskate addition is clever - it fills the afternoon downtime that plagues most surf camps (when the tide or wind is wrong) with something genuinely useful. At EUR69 per day including accommodation, coaching, food, and activities, this is extraordinary value. The no-free-cancellation policy is the only significant downside - a week-long commitment with no refund option requires confidence in your travel dates.
Who should book this
- Beginner to intermediate surfers who want a structured week of progression, not just a taster lesson
- Solo travellers looking for a social, community-driven experience - surf camps attract interesting people
- Anyone who has tried a two-hour surf lesson and wants to properly commit to learning the sport
Who should skip this
- Advanced surfers who will be frustrated by group-paced instruction
- Visitors who want cultural sightseeing as their primary Morocco experience - this is a sports holiday
- Anyone whose travel dates are uncertain - no free cancellation on a EUR484 commitment is a real consideration
