We are confident that even if you have no surf experience, if you are keen to be learn, we can move you from Zero to Hero.

Where is it?

The course is located in and around the village of Taghazout in south sest Morocco. Over the last ten years Taghazout has earned a reputation as the best winter surf destination within a short flight distance of Europe. No surprise then that Kelly Slater has been surfing there in when he got some down time from the ASP tour.

Often you will spend time around the Taghazout surf camp, right on top of Hash Point, one of its most well known surf spots. The surfing line-up in the area is truly unebelievable, with both simple learner beach breaks and world class point breaks, all along just a 15km stretch of coastline.
