Booking & payment

Booking & payment

How do I book a surf lesson in Taghazout?+

Book online through our contact page or message us directly on WhatsApp. We usually reply within minutes and help you pick the best time based on the surf conditions.

How far in advance should I book?+

A day or two ahead is usually fine. In peak season (summer and school holidays) it's best to book earlier to be sure of your preferred slot.

What payment methods do you accept?+

We'll confirm payment options when you book. Cash is always accepted, and we can arrange other methods on request.

Can I cancel or reschedule my lesson?+

Yes, we're flexible. Let us know as early as you can and we'll move your lesson — conditions and the day's safety permitting.

Beginners

Complete beginners

I've never surfed. Can I really learn?+

Yes. Most of our students are complete beginners, and Taghazout's gentle, sandy beach breaks are some of the best learner waves in the world. See our beginner lessons.

Will I stand up on my first lesson?+

Most beginners ride their first white-water waves on the very first lesson. We practise the pop-up on the sand first, then guide you onto soft beginner boards in shallow water.

Do I need to be fit or know how to swim?+

You don't need to be especially fit, and beginner lessons take place in shallow water. Being comfortable in the water helps — tell us about any concerns and we'll look after you.

Lessons & levels

Lessons & levels

How long is a surf lesson?+

Each lesson is 2 to 2.5 hours, with plenty of real time in the water. Sessions run every day, morning and afternoon.

What levels do you teach?+

All of them — beginner, intermediate and advanced — plus surf guiding for experienced surfers who want to be taken to the best breaks.

How big are the groups?+

Small — a maximum of 6 surfers per instructor, so you get real attention and progress faster.

Should I choose a group or private lesson?+

A group lesson is social and great value. A private lesson gives you one-on-one coaching and is the fastest way to progress at any level.
