A local surf instructor, not a seasonal one
I am Reda. I grew up in Mirleft, further down this coast, and I have surfed for more than twelve years. I moved to Taghazout about five years ago and I teach here every day.
That matters more than it sounds. Conditions here change from one beach to the next, and from one hour to the next. Most mornings I check the swell before I decide where we go.
Groups stay small, four or five people at most. You get corrected in the water rather than shouted at from the beach.
I teach in English, French and Arabic, plus basic German, and I cover Taghazout, Tamraght and Agadir. More about the school.

We're working remotely here and not doing the usual surf retreats, but we still wanted to use our free time to learn how to surf. They were super flexible and provided us with lessons that fit around our work schedule. The instructor made sure we learnt everything on the beach before going into the water. We're not naturals, but he was very patient and motivating with us. We quickly learned how to catch our own waves. Great experience for a super fair price!
Great surfing lesson with Reda! He was very friendly, professional, and made the experience really fun. I learned a lot and would definitely recommend him.
Most people stand up in their first session
You start in the whitewater on a soft board, with me beside you. Riding an unbroken green wave usually takes about three sessions.
Session three: your first green waveWhitewater first, then the unbroken face. I pick the beach each morning so the wave suits where you are.

Beginners never start at Anchor Point
Taghazout is famous for its right-hand point breaks. Those break over reef and they are not where you learn.
You start on sand. Panoramas Beach and Banana Beach in Aourir, also called Banana Point, are gentle and forgiving.
Devil’s Rock in Tamraght comes in once you are ready for a green wave. Anchor Point, Killer Point and Hash Point stay on the list for later — all eleven are in the Morocco surf spots guide.
Agadir airport is 40–50 minutes away
Fly into Agadir (AGA) and you are on the beach the same afternoon. I can arrange a transfer to Taghazout or Tamraght with your booking.
You will not need a car. Everything in Taghazout and Tamraght is walkable or a cheap taxi ride, and I handle transport to whichever beach we are surfing. There is plenty to fill the flat days too — see things to do in Taghazout.
