About Longboard Surfing Camps in Morocco
Morocco has one of the best longboard coastlines in the world, and the reason is geometry: the points north of Taghazout peel in one direction for hundreds of metres, and a long board is the right tool for a wave that does exactly that.
Imsouane bay is the obvious one — a slow, shouldering right that can run for several hundred metres and is regularly described as one of the longest rides in Africa. It is a noseriding wave rather than a performance one, and on the right day it is the reason people bring a nine-foot board through an airport. Anchor Point, Boilers and the other points hold longboards well at size, but the crowd there is shortboard-dominant and the etiquette is stricter.
The practical question for a longboard week is equipment. Most camps stock soft-tops and mid-lengths but not proper logs, and airline board fees for a nine-footer are significant. Ask what is actually in the rack before booking, and whether the camp teaches noseriding or simply lends you a bigger board.
Who it suits
Surfers who already log at home, improvers who want long rides rather than steep ones, and anyone whose priority is time on the wave rather than manoeuvres.
What to check before you book
- Coached hours per day, and how many people per instructor. Above eight to one you are being supervised rather than taught.
- What the room actually is. A dormitory bed and a private double are often quoted under one headline price.
- Which meals are included, and what happens on the days nobody drives to a spot.
- Whether transfers from the airport and to the surf are in the price or added later.
- The cancellation policy in writing, and what it says about weather.
Where to find this in Morocco
The coast this marketplace covers runs from Mehdia in the north to Sidi Ifni in the south. These are the places to start looking:
- Taghazout — The village that turned Moroccan surfing into an industry
- Tamraght — Quieter than Taghazout, and where most first lessons actually happen
- Agadir — Where you land, and a long city beach that works when the coast is huge
- Imsouane — The longest, gentlest wave in Morocco
- Essaouira — Wind city — a walled medina with world-class kite and windsurf
