Your Questions About Beginner Surf Essaouira

Is it safe for beginners?

Essaouira Bay is one of the safest spots in Morocco. It has a sandy bottom (no rocks), shallow water for a long distance, and no dangerous currents.

Will I stand up in my first lesson?

Most of our students stand up and ride the whitewash in their very first session! Our proven teaching method makes it easy.

Do I need to be a strong swimmer?

You should be comfortable in the water, but we stay in waist-deep water for beginner lessons, so you don't need to be an Olympic swimmer.

Is it suitable for children?

Yes! We teach kids from age 5. We have special soft kids' boards and small wetsuits to keep them warm and safe.
