About this activity
Taghazout is Morocco’s best-known surf village, and its sandy beaches have gentle waves that suit a first lesson. The instructor starts on the sand — how to lie on the board, paddle and stand up — then takes you into the white water.
The beach is chosen on the day for the safest, easiest waves. Most people stand up on the board during their first lesson.
