HIGH-QUALITY SURF COACHING

The Pedagogy:

To provide you with the best coaching experience, we put together a teaching method that all of our instructors are thoroughly trained to follow. Our goal is to give you the skills, knowledge, and confidence to prepare you to become an independent surfer who knows how to surf on their own in the future. Our pedagogy is built on skill development, meaning that we gradually master each skill in practice and theory based on your current surfing ability. Each level has a different training program so you can focus on what you really need to learn and progressively build up your surfing skill and knowledge.

Discover our levels and the activities you will join during your surf training camp.

Level 1:

Have you always dreamed of riding waves, but never had the chance to learn? Or maybe you’ve surfed a few times before but are lacking the confidence and knowledge to progress? This stage is a crucial part of your surfing journey, as it’s where you can build strong foundations to progress in the future. In this program, you will learn all the basics of riding white water waves (waves that are already broken) and you will discover the incredible feeling of surfing your first green waves (waves that are not broken yet).

Skills: Body Surfing, Whitewater etiquette, Whitewater selection, Catching a wave (in the whitewater), Board control (level1), Standing up, Speed Control, Turning...

Level 2:

Once you’ve been surfing for a week or more and are able to consistently stand up on broken waves, it’s time to take your surfing up a level. This program is designed to give you the skills to become an independent surfer, which means catching waves on your own, understanding the best type of wave to choose, and starting to surf along the face of a green wave.

Skills: Surfing etiquette, Board control (level2), Wave selection (green wave), Angled take-off, Ocean awareness, Surf forecasting, Carving & Trimming turns...

Level 3:

Now that you’re confidently catching waves by yourself without any help, it’s time to get technical. Even the most experienced surfer makes mistakes, so this program will highlight the common mistakes that are holding you back and show you how to correct them. We do this by filming each of your waves and playing them back afterward in video analysis sessions, to break down each aspect of your surfing and show you where you need to improve. With in-water training to teach you the main techniques in surfing, this is the best way for you to really skyrocket your surfing skills.

Skills: Wave selection (advanced), Duck diving, Surf Fitness, Generating Speed, Manoeuvre decision, Carving turns, Bottom turns & Introduction to the different types of surfing...

Day Off:

After surfing for 3 days, we usually recommend that you take a day off, either to free-surf or enjoy some much-needed downtime in Imsouane. We usually schedule a break on Wednesday, but it might be different depending on the surf and weather conditions. This day only includes breakfast, so if you want to have lunch and dinner with us, or join some of our recommended activities (see below), just sign up at the reception desk and we will explain everything for you in detail.

La source:

Watch the most magical sunset of your life on this short trip just 15 minutes from Imsouane. We will take you across the northern coast of Imsouane to hike a short distance up to a natural water source, where we will prepare a traditional Moroccan tea with biscuits by the fire and soak up the sunset colors over the Atlantic Ocean.

Essaouira day trip:

Essaouira means “little picture” in Arabic, and it really is a painter’s dream location. With a vibrant blue-and-white medina enclosed by fairy-tale, sand-colored ramparts, and imposing stone gates, it’s well worth the 1,5-hour drive to experience this unique city. There are plenty of cozy shops and amazing food places to try out, we’ll be happy to share our favorites with you!

Just a half-hour drive from Imsouane are some amazing sand dunes overlooking the ocean. This is where you can have some fun speeding down the dunes on old surfboards, a really fun experience that always ends in lots of laughs! This trip takes half a day.

With our Moroccan chef, you'll prepare and learn some local dishes. During 2/3 hours you will make tajine, couscous, Moroccan salad and try it after.
