Meet the team

Who we are

  • Clapo is the founder of Clapo Surf Morocco. Pro surfer, international competitor and gold medalist, it’s dear to him to also share his passion. That’s why he created the camp with his little brother, Houssine, and berber mother, Aïcha in Imsouane. Together they create create a warm and family atmosphere, with generous food, laughs and fun!

  • Meet Elisa & Leonie, the creators of Sol y Mar Collective!

    They met in 2018 in Costa Rica and have been close friends ever since. They quickly realized that there’s a deep connection between them and that they want to create something special together. That’s how they started organizing retreats in 2020. Their goal with Sol y Mar Collective is to create a space to discuss future events (retreats, workshops), share their advice and tips about well-being, and hopefully build a strong community of like-minded people to grow with you!

  • Elisa holds a BSc in Physiotherapy and has been teaching yoga for 5+ years. She loves creating yoga flows that incorporate both physio knowledge and yoga philosophy. Passionate about movement, she’s always ready for the next activity and adventure.

  • Leonie has a BSc in Nutrition and Dietetics. She creates food with love and passion and is the home chef of the retreats. Aesthetics of food and creating a beautiful atmosphere for shared moments mean a lot to her. She spends her free time doing various activities: sports, creating new recipes, quality time with loved ones, becoming a masseuse, exploring the world, etc.

Surfing the bay

The surf

We’ll surf with Clapo and his team in the iconic Bay of Imsouane. It’s a longboarder paradise with a 800m long wave and a perfect place to start surfing or work on your technique. You’ll have a 2h session together everyday with certified & pro surfers. It starts with an essential warm up, theory, wave reading and surf etiquette on land. Then in the water with one-on-one guidance on wave selection, timing, and technique. Each lesson wraps up with feedback and next steps.

Daily flow

The yoga

With Elisa, we will practice yoga twice a day on the rooftop of our house or at the beach. In the morning the flow will be more invigorating. The class will focus on connecting your breath and movements to create a moving meditation. In the evening, as the sun goes down we will meet up on our mat for a gentle yoga session. Every practice is inspired by yoga philosophy and created to respect each other's body and needs. The integration of body awareness, deep stretches, mobility, strengthening and breathing exercises makes your experience truly special and complementary to your surf.

Fueling for waves

Wellbeing & nutrition workshop

Explore the synergy of good food and surf-focused nutrition with Leonie’s workshop. Designed to fuel your body before and after every session: she’ll guide us through the best food combinations and nutrients to boost energy and endurance before hitting the waves, as well as key nutrients for faster muscle recovery afterward. Together, we’ll put this knowledge into practice by preparing a nutrient-packed snack, blending practical skills with insights to naturally fuel your surf journey.

    We'll also talk about ocean safety & awareness in the Bay to insure a safe session and meeting points. Through the 3 peaks and waves reforming, it's important to remind how priorities work in surf & what are the fondamental rules of good "surf etiquette".

    Lastly, we'll have a lecture of the waves + peak(s) from the coast so you can understand how to read waves before jumping in!

  • Lessons last for 2h, in small groups of 5 people maximum per instructor to insure the best quality and safety. All our surf teachers are certificated by ISA and/or the Moroccan federation, so you're in good hands ;)

    How is a lesson like?

    Every session starts with a set of essential stretches to warm up the body and get in the mood!

    If you're a beginner, we'll stay a little longer on the beach to learn the basic techniques of surfing. Your instructor will show you the correct movement to paddle, pop up and stand up on your board. They'll explain how your body positioning and your look matters for your balance and to catch waves in general. You'll practice on land to understand the movement properly (positioning on the board, paddling, popping up & standing up to ride).

    If you're intermediate, we'll take that time to understand your expectations, discuss your surf goals and do exercises based on them. We have the option to go surf Cathedral spot nearby if you want to level up the challenge.

    Time to put everything in practice! We'll head in the water to catch some waves together, providing one-on-one guidance to every member of the group. We'll be guiding you every step of the way: picking safe waves for you, timing your paddling, and giving you an extra push to catch them. We'll be encouraging you on every try, you'll be surprised by how much you're capable of!

    The instructor will keep a close eye on each of your waves, so he can provide feedback and suggestions for each attempt. Feel free to share any challenges you may be facing, we’re here to help and address them with specific tips and personalised advice.

    The lesson will conclude with a recap of all the progress made and the next goals to set next time.

  • We provide all the necessary equipment so you can surf at your best : wetsuits, surfboards, leash, wax...

    If you are intermediate, let us know what type and size of board you would like to surf so we can save it for you in advance.

  • A big part of learning and improving your surf and style is to see yourself! So we'll have a photographer following us during the week to capture your evolution and best waves.

    Every evening we'll review the series of the day all together. Learnings & laughs guaranteed!

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