Surf Berbere

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!
