INTRODUCTION TO YOUR DREAM MOROCCAN HOLIDAY
Have you ever wondered what having a dream Moroccan holiday is like?
Endless sunshine, hearty and traditional foods, and camel rides along the coast might be the first things that pop up in your mind when you think of a typical Moroccan holiday.
If you’ve never been to a surf camp before, you may be curious about how a day in the life is being spent here at Original Surf Morocco.
Well, worry not, we’re here to give you the full rundown on what a typical day in the life looks like from our guests’ point of view – from sunrise yoga to late-night card games, and more in between.
MOROCCAN HOLIDAY BEGINS WITH MORNING YOGA & BREAKFAST
We like to start our mornings out pretty relaxed by hanging out on the terrace with a delicious Moroccan tea before breakfast or joining in sunrise yoga at 7.30 am in the rooftop shala given by our in-home yoga teacher.
The class is typically a slow flow to get the body moving and grooving while still preserving our surf energy for the day ahead.
The backdrop from the shala is like no other, with a panoramic 360-degree view of Tamraght and the sweeping Atlantic coastline that seems to stretch as far and wide as the eyes can see, and the “om” chanted in class.
After working up an appetite, breakfast is served at 9 am on the rooftop. What a place to have breakfast, especially you’re having breakfast as you’re overlooking the whole Tamraght village.
Prepare yourself for a treat!
Our local Moroccan chefs, Omar and Mustapha, outdo themselves with a new creation every once and a while.
You’ll find the table laden with mint tea, spiced coffee, local fruits, eggs, fresh bread, pancakes or crepes, and a whole bunch of different dips to add your twist on the meal.
Surf fuel, check. ✅
PREPARING FOR THE SURF
Around 9.45 am, we wander downstairs to meet up with our surf instructors to get suited up for the day.
They are always ready to help with wetsuit fits, surf analysis, tips, and chitchat.
We pick out the proper wetsuit and surfboard before loading up the surf van, turning up your favourite jams, and driving out to the beach.
If you have never surfed before, have no fear! Original surf Morocco surf coaches are here.
Our experienced instructors know everything about the local breaks, surf spots, and what it takes to get beginners to surf their first wave.
They’re ready to get you standing up and catching waves on day one.
After a dynamic group warm-up on the beach, we’ll practice paddling and pop-ups on the shore before dragging our boards out into the ocean.
The friendly yet professional coaches will be alongside you all morning, pushing you into the perfect waves, cheering, and yelling “stand up” at just the right moment.
Be sure to listen up for the cheers and wohooos when you finally catch that first wave and ride it all the way to shore.
THE FREE SURFING SESSION IN THE AFTERNOON
After a morning of practice, we perch ourselves on the sand for a well-deserved lunch and lounge under the sun.
The afternoon is your free time to practice surfing on your own and to have fun.
So make sure to take a good advantage of this time to practice surfing, try to get familiar with the ocean, the waves, and what you were taught by the surf coaches during the morning session.
RETURNING TO THE SURF CAMP
After heading back to camp around 4 pm, you’ll have free time to a much-needed rest and relax, have a tea time, wander around, and explore the local village.
If you’ve taken it easy and still have energy for a walk, we’d recommend heading down to catch the sunset on Devil’s Rock or take a camel or horse ride down the beach.
DINNER TIME AT ORIGINAL SURF MOROCCO
Just be sure to come back to the camp around 7:30 pm for dinner because it is at 8 pm. If you’ve never had traditional Moroccan cuisine, you’re in for a feast!
You’ll find fresh bread, salad, and tajine, which is a North African stew of spiced meat and vegetables prepared by slow cooking in a shallow dish with a lid that looks similar to a volcano.
Fresh avocado or papaya smoothies made out of homegrown fruits, fruit salad, or mint cake are on the menu for dessert.
POST DINNER ROUTINE AT THE SURF CAMP
Following dinner, we’ll flick through the surf photos from the day and get some feedback on how to improve.
The rest of the evening is yours to play card games, chill out on the terrace with a bonfire, or head to Agadir to check out the nightlife.
Beware of the card games as we play with Moroccan rules that usually include the loser dancing or singing along to bad 80’s music with half the room laughing and secretly hoping they don’t lose the next round.
Be sure to catch enough zzz’s to wake up and hit the repeat button again the next day!
