Surf Week,

Guiding days

Surf development week

Half home half adventure

The best of both worlds

Welcome to the surf camp week 2.0. Enjoy the comfort of a surf camp with the freedom of surf guiding. Based mainly in Imsouane, you’ll surf our two most reliable spots: Cathedral—with its mix of lefts, rights, reef, point, and beach breaks full of power—and the Bay, an 800m-long ride perfect for all levels. When conditions are better elsewhere, we’ll take you on a full-day surf trip to nearby towns or our secret spots (never more than 2 hours away), complete with food, lessons, transport, and a private driver. Every evening, we return to the camp to relax and recharge batteries for the next adventure.

For intermediate surf and plus. Be aware that this program depends on the forecast during your stay. Highly recommended in winter season.

We’re based in Imsouane, surrounded by surf breaks north and south, which means we’re central to most of them. Morocco has a year round Atlantic swell, with a 2500km-long coastline changing from exposed to sheltered points, reefs, shore breaks and beach breaks. That gives plenty options and chances to find the wave that’s just right for you.

We have 4x4 Mitsubitshi trucks that can drive us pretty much everywhere, even to the off track hidden paths. Let’s hit the road!

We're not just driving you to surf spots and leaving you there to surf on your own —unless you want to. You'll be advised and mentored by Clapo all week long (Pro surfer in the national team and 2x Moroccan champion) and benefit from all his expertise and fun to improve your surfing! We’ll have a private photographer to capture your best waves.

What is in the pack?

  • Or longer if you want to!

  • All the food served during your stay are Moroccan, some more or less known, but all homemade with fresh, and local ingredients

    If you have any food intolerances, a special diet, or allergies, please let us know in the form at the bottom of the page.

  • Born and raised on the Moroccan west coast, our coaches know the surf spots inside out to tailor the experience just for you.

    Surf uncrowded breaks in pristine landscapes, cross historic towns, wildlife & mountains views.

    We’ll put together an itinerary that best suits your interests and surf level.

  • Every session starts with an essential body warm up and lecture of the waves + peak(s). We'll also take time to understand your expectations and discuss your surf goals. Then Yallah!

    We'll spend the first session with you in the water, spotting your strengths, style, weaknesses and the kind of wave you need to learn/train with. If you want we'll give you material and equipment advices based on your challenges.

    For the next sessions sometimes we'll be in the water with you, other times outside watching, filming, and advising you from the coast via water proof walkie-talkie.

    At the end of every session we'll debrief what you did well, the missed opportunities, and what you need to strengthen.

    If we were coaching you from the coast, we'll analyse the pictures and videos of your session together.

    Together we'll detail all the waves you get and correct your mistakes by showing you the right movements, positioning, breathing and techniques to improve positively.

    Based on your practice and performance, we'll give you exercises to do on land to train your body and enhance some movements for your next ride.

  • Our Mitsubitshi Pajero Sport is fully equipped to go off the tracks and be the first on empty lineups.

    Our cars are prepared to welcome your surf gear with care and security (cushioned roof strap, travel board bag, wetsuit bag for after surf sessions).

  • This is a pretty unique way to coach, assisting you from the shore yet with a lot of freedom for you to gain independence and confidence.

    We'll be able to anticipate the coming waves sets, tell you live where to best position in the water to catch the best series, and in general provide timely advises while you surf.

    From our external point of view, we'll be able to see every step of your surfing which helps understand accurately where problems come from and correct with precise details wave after wave. This is a powerful way to progress.

  • A big part of learning and improving your surf and style is to see yourself. So we'll capture your evolution and best waves.

    Every evening we'll review the series of the day to understand what you need to work on. We'll provide you tips, techniques and exercises to do on land to build muscle memory and automatisms.

    We'll send you all the pictures at the end of the week as a souvenir.

“ Surfing with Clapo has been amazing! [They] planned everything ahead and investigated the nicest spot way before the first light in the morning, so we could have an awesome session with the sunrise “
