Two schoolmates, James and Tudor, started Surf Berbere after they came out on a week long holiday to Morocco. Just two days into his Morocco surf holiday to Taghazout, James had the opportunity to put down a deposit of a whopping £200 for one of the now “Surf Camp” flats, with the contract stating that he had one month to complete the payment or lose his enormous deposit.
With a bit of begging, pleading and lot of help from friends and family the guys got enough money to get a couple of the flats and what is now the Surf Berbere Cafe plot as well.
Times where tough in the beginning, the locals didn’t like surf camps, another surf camp had burnt a few of the locals, and the general vibe around town was against any new foreign surf companies. After 12 years of hard work, numerous local initiatives, lots of beach cleans, donations to local surf clubs, sponsoring surf comps and paying towards the skate park, the local folk have come to love Surf Berbere (love might be a bit of a strong word, they like us for sure). We hope you will as well!
Taghazout is a small fishing village about 20km North of Agadir. Since Europeans came to Taghazout in the 60’s, it has developed into the surfing mecca of morocco, with multiple world class waves all within a 15 minute drive.
When the Atlantic swells roll in you have about 20 different world class spots that all light up at the same time, all just minutes from each other.
Our Surf Berbere surf camp is perfectly placed literally 5 metres from the jump off point of Hash Point a fun, fast point break. From the surf camp terraces and the cafe you can check the surf from Panoramas all the way up to Anchor Point.
If you are a beginner there are always perfect chest to head high waves on a nice, safe, sandy bottomed beach.
We don’t just use one beach, we drive to the beach that is going to be perfect for you on that day (unlike most other surf schools that will just use the same stretch of beach day in, day out). This means that you get to catch as many green waves as you can!
Our surf guides are all local guys that have surfed the area for years. With us, surf guiding is no different to having a lesson, you will have a surf instructor with you for the whole day, he will get in the water with you showing you how and where to get in to the spot. He will take waves with you (not instead of you) and he will show you how to get out.
He is also your safety net, trying to make sure that you come back in one piece. Although for that to work, you do need to listen.
At Surf Berbere we understand that sometimes you need to get away from the daily grind and give your body and mind a chance to relax.
Our Morocco surf & yoga weeks are all about relaxation, spending time with mother nature, your wellness, transformation and rejuvenation. We’re here to create an experience that inspires peace, serenity, inner strength, calmness and to make sure you have a good time!
Book our Experienced Surfer Package and you’ll be staying at our Taghazout surf camp, which is based right on Hash Point. Whilst Hash Point may not be the world’s greatest wave, it is still a good fun ride and the rock off point is literally 5 meters from our front door.
Just 10 minutes walk up the road you have Anchor point, so doing your morning spot check is pretty easy. In fact, Hash Point got its name because all the locals that were too lazy to bother walking up to Anchors for a surf used to sit on Hash Point and get smoked up.
