A personal story of learning to surf, discovering Berber culture, and falling in love with Morocco

When I booked my surf trip to Morocco, I had never touched a surfboard. I didn’t know how to paddle. I didn’t even know how to read a wave. I just wanted something new — something that would take me out of my routine and into the ocean.

One week later, I was standing on my board, riding small green waves with a huge smile on my face. And I knew: this trip had changed me.

⸻

Day 1: Arrival in Tamghart

The first thing that hit me wasn’t the waves — it was the vibe. Tamghart is a quiet village near Taghazout, full of laid-back energy, ocean views, and warm, welcoming people.

At Adrenalin Surf Maroc, I was welcomed like family. The surf house is a cozy, traditional Berber home with colorful tiles, rooftop views, and the smell of mint tea in the air.

I felt instantly at peace.

⸻

Day 2: First surf lesson ever

I was nervous. The ocean looked endless. But my instructor, friendly and patient, broke everything down step by step.

On the beach, we practiced the pop-up. In the water, I wiped out five times… then suddenly, I stood up for the first time.

That feeling? Pure freedom.

⸻

Day 3–5: Progress, laughter, and a beach lunch I’ll never forget

Each day brought more confidence. I paddled stronger, understood the rhythm of the waves, and even started turning on the board.

But it wasn’t just about surfing. One afternoon, we had lunch on the beach under a parasol — grilled fish, couscous, fresh fruit — right by the waves. We shared stories, laughed, and watched the sunset.

It wasn’t just a surf trip. It was a connection to the ocean and the people around me.

⸻

Day 6: Rest, explore, breathe

I took a break from surfing and joined a yoga session on the rooftop. Later, I explored the local market, spoke with artisans, and learned about Berber traditions — from cooking to carpets.

Tamghart isn’t a tourist trap. It’s authentic, calm, and full of soul.

⸻

Day 7: My last wave (but not the end)

On the final day, I caught my longest wave yet — clean, smooth, and unforgettable. I didn’t want to leave.

I came here as a beginner. I left as someone hooked on surfing, in love with Morocco, and full of energy I hadn’t felt in years.

⸻

Final thoughts: You don’t have to be a surfer to start — just curious

If you’re reading this and thinking, “That sounds amazing, but I’m not sporty,” trust me — I wasn’t either. You don’t need experience. Just come with an open mind.

Because Morocco doesn’t just teach you to surf. It teaches you to slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy life.

Book your trip to Tamghart. The waves — and the adventure — are waiting.

A slice of paradise between the ocean and Berber traditions

Just north of Agadir, along Morocco’s stunning Atlantic coast, lie two hidden gems: Tamghart and Taghazout. Known around the world for their perfect waves and laid-back atmosphere, these villages offer much more than surf – they are gateways to a genuine Berber lifestyle, traditional Moroccan hospitality, and unforgettable surf camp experiences.

⸻

Tamghart: A quiet surf village with a soul

Less famous than its neighbor Taghazout, Tamghart charms visitors with its peaceful vibe and authenticity. This is where our Berber surf camp is located – in a traditional Moroccan house, decorated with handcrafted rugs, carved wood, and vibrant local colors.

You’ll wake up to the sound of waves and the smell of fresh mint tea. The rhythm of life here is simple and real. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced surfer, Tamghart is a place where you can truly disconnect and embrace the spirit of the ocean.

Taghazout: Morocco’s iconic surf town

Only five minutes away by car, Taghazout is Morocco’s most famous surf destination. Once a sleepy fishing village, it’s now a global hotspot for surfers, offering world-class waves like Anchor Point, Panorama, and Hash Point.

Despite its popularity, Taghazout has kept its charm – with seafront cafés, friendly locals, and a buzzing surf culture. It’s the perfect place to explore when you’re not surfing in Tamghart.
