Do I have to bring my own board?

We will provide everything you need, but if you have your own boards then bring them all. Our region has absolutely every kind of wave so bring the boards that suit what you want to ride and according to your ability. Boards, wetsuits are all included in the full package price if you don't fancy the perilous baggage handlers.

Is there anywhere to get surf repairs done?

There are lots of local surf shops that will fix any problems you may get with your boards at low cost, but high quality.

Can I do a shorter version of the course if I already have qualifications?

Yes you can do a 2 months course if you have strong qualifications in surfing. Please contact us with your request and let us know what kind of qualifications you have so we can see how much time you need to fulfil the course.

Where should I fly into?

You need to fly into Agadir (AGA), which is our nearest aiport and is only 50 minuntess away by car. We will pick you up from the airport and bring you back too!

What is the weather like?

Expect sunshine year round, but cold evenings from October through to March. Warm water lasts through till November, but you will need a winter wetsuit through to March or April.

What is the currency?

The Moroccan currency is the Dirham (dh). There are 14.5dh to £1, and 12dh to 1EURO. You will not be able to get hold of any currency outside the country and so long as you are not a currency speculator we are happy to change small amounts of money for you at the current market rates. We recommend changing money once here or using your ATM card. There are lots of places at the airport and in Agadir to get money out. DO NOT BRING TRAVELLERS CHEQUES as nobody will accept them!

I am a woman. Is there a dress code for this part of Morocco?

Morocco is one of the most tolerant Muslim countries in the world. Read a guide book from ten years ago and you will be told to dress head to toe with nothing showing. This is not the case anymore. Agadir is a European tourist destination and the locals will not be shocked by much, however we ask that all our clients respect local customs.

Is there internet at the accomodation?

We have high speed WiFi broadband internet throughout our accommodation.

Can I drink alcohol?

Taghazout is a dry town. This means that no store will sell booze here, but that does not mean that there are no boozy parties here. Alcohol is available in Agadir, where it is nice to enjoy a drink after a good day surfing. We will go in to the supermarkets of Agadir fairly regularly if you want to pick up a crate. Please note that we are careful to respect local customs. You can also purchase duty free before departing.

I am a vegetarian. Can I come too?

Yes, you are very welcome!  Our Moroccan Chef Simo specialises in a variety of cuisines to ensure your stay with us is catered for your particular taste. There is nothing more refreshing at the end of a surfing day than relaxing on the terrace enjoying a vegetable tagine!
