This report here is to tell you all about SACKED Surf Tour's first 'Tailored Surf Trip In Morocco'. And what a trip that was!
Having the pleasure to be connected by good friend Ben, to Ruben en Gijs, these two fellow Dutchmen told me they were looking to get a surf lesson and discover some more of the area, and were interested in a private surf excursion off the beaten track. We discussed the trip through WhatsApp, and after agreeing on the Package proposal, containing a rough schedule for our trip, the day was set for Saturday 18th of November.
In the morning we met for coffee in Taghazout, after which we gathered our kit and loaded up Stan the Van. We headed out to some local beaches to check out the surf, but decided as a group we wanted more uncrowded territory so we headed to Tamri. About a 35-40 minute drive south later, mostly navigating through sea mist, we arrived in Tamri where the sun had already burned off the
mist, and a beautiful widespread beach break was waiting for us. The surf was about hip-high, and perfect for learning. The lesson focussed on the fundamentals of body position, paddling, catching the wave, and the 'two-step' method of getting up on the board. We surfed for about two-three hours with a small lunch break in between, after which we made our way to Imi Ouaddar. In this tiny village, we enjoyed 'misamen' a typical Moroccan snack, with honey. Coming back into Taghazout the lads decided they wanted to attend a yoga class I gave that evening at Seaside Hotel as well. Moving in slow, long held poses (yin yoga), this restorative practice gave new insights, relaxation to our mind and body, after which we chilled out at the hostel where Ruben and Gijs were staying. We finished off eating a proper Moroccan meal at a local restaurant, where the common Dutch vibes continued a little longer. It was a true pleasure having these two legends - both working in relatively radio & sound direction & production - attend this first 'Tailored Surf Trip in Morocco' with SACKED Surf Tour!
