Never too old to learn - I (63) loved it! Had never snorted before but my son (23) said mom why don't you come. Indeed, why not. Most of all, I was afraid I had too little power to maneuver the board. At the desk there was a saying about winners and losers and I started talking about it: ‘if you think you’re old, your body acts old too’, said the relaxed, friendly surf dude. Then I was on. The first touch with the power of the waves was impressive but the instructor always told me exactly in time what to do and yes, it worked a few times. With muscle aches the next day and some bruises from falling, but I wouldn't have missed this! What fun. A real adrenaline rush!

Great beginner lesson with good experience factor - I really liked the two-hour beginner lesson. Midi managed to give me some success stories. I had a lot of fun and can take home a very positive result. Thank you!

Great experience for beginners - Would highly recommend to anyone looking to surf in Essaouira. We had a group of 5 beginners, and by the end of the 2-hour lesson, everyone was standing and confident enough to surf again without a lesson! Rusty communicated well and walked us over to the shop, and our instructor was patient and encouraging. They also made sure to take lots of action shots and videos!

You must not miss this. - Amazing surf school. We went as a couple and had such a friendly and welcoming instructor in Anass. Even though it was the first time we’ve ever surfed, the lesson was really informative and we got into the waves really quickly and was able ride waves comfortably by within two hours. The beach is lovely, the surf school is a 5 minute walk to the sea and they serve fresh mint tea whilst you wait (on the house). Cannot wait to go again.

Nice Surf Experience - We were beginners and could learn how to stand on the surfboard and catch waves under the guidance of Anas. It was a really good experience. Thank you for that.

Amazing for beginners and great instructors - I visited Essaouira Watersports in early October and had a really wonderful time. I am very new to surfing, and learnt in a small class with two others. This beach is a great place to learn if you're a beginner! My instructor was Anass and he was wonderful, so helpful and friendly. He showed us the basics while on the beach, and in the sea he helped us to catch some good waves. I had a great time surfing in Essaouira and I hope to come back one day!

Awesome team and great teacher (Ayoub) - We booked in for a 2hour beginner surf lesson on 5th Dec 2024 and we had Ayoub as out teacher he was excellent at explaining everything and we were soon in the water up on our boards. We loves it so much we hired out the surf boards and wetsuits the next day for 3 hours. The whole team were very friendly and flexible, explaining when the tide was at its best and the best time to catch some good waves. We had such a good time and would definitely recommend these guys to book with. Would definitely go again!! Lockers and showers available which made things a lot easier!

Where you want to come back - Great friendly staff. It was an awesome experience for me as a beginner. My coach was Ayoub. Crazy in a good way and an energetic guy 😄 Clear instructions and incredible emotions on the waves. Out of the dozens of people in the water rest assured you will not lose sight of Ayoub. The Moroccan sun has given this guy incredible energy 😁
