Love, love, love. Everyone from the staff did the great job. Especially instructors. Happy for my girlfriend which was scared at first, but after a break and much support from the instructors she stood on the board and caught like 5 waves. I had more caught waves but even then, they gave me some tips. The attention of instructors was split correctly for everyone i think, based on their level.

Full description

Enjoy an engaging surfing lesson on Essaouira Beach with an experienced instructor. Hone your techniques and skills on the board with a lesson that is suitable for both total beginners and experienced surfers.

Meet your guide for the day and get kitted out with all the necessary equipment you’ll need for your lesson. Then head onto the beach where the real fun begins.

If you’re a beginner, your guide will first help you focus on how to balance and pop up from your board to your feet. Learn how to catch the right wave at the optimum moment for a good surf. Then it’s time to work on your posture and stance to extend your ride on the board.

If you’ve already got some surf experience, the lesson will be tailored to your level. Explain to your instructor the level of surf experience you have and then focus on your objectives for the session to perfect your skills.
