Have you always dreamed of riding waves, but never had the chance to learn? Or maybe you’ve surfed a few times before but are lacking the confidence and knowledge to progress? This stage is a crucial part of your surfing journey, as it’s where you can build strong foundations to progress in the future. In this program, you will learn all the basics of riding white water waves (waves that are already broken) and you will discover the incredible feeling of surfing your first green waves (waves that are not broken yet).

Once you’ve been surfing for a week or more and are able to consistently stand up on broken waves, it’s time to take your surfing up a level. This program is designed to give you the skills to become an independent surfer, which means catching waves on your own, understanding the best type of wave to choose, and starting to surf along the face of a green wave.
Skills: Surfing etiquette, Board control (level2), Wave selection (green wave), Angled take-off, Ocean awareness, Surf forecasting, Carving & Trimming turns.

Now that you’re confidently catching waves by yourself without any help, it’s time to get technical.

We do this by filming each of your waves and playing them back afterward in video analysis sessions, to break down each aspect of your surfing and show you where you need to improve. With in-water training to teach you the main techniques in surfing, this is the best way for you to really skyrocket your surfing skills.

Essaouira means “little picture” in Arabic, and it really is a painter’s dream location. With a vibrant blue-and-white medina enclosed by fairy-tale, sand-colored ramparts, and imposing stone gates, it’s well worth the 1,5-hour drive to experience this unique city. There are plenty of cozy shops and amazing food places to try out, we’ll be happy to share our favorites with you!

Just a half-hour drive from Imsouane are some amazing sand dunes overlooking the ocean. This is where you can have some fun speeding down the dunes on old surfboards, a really fun experience that always ends in lots of laughs! This trip takes half a day.

With our Moroccan chef, you'll prepare and learn some local dishes. During 2/3 hours you will make tajine, couscous, Moroccan salad and try it after.
There are plenty of camps and schools who just want you to have fun and make money out of you… There are not so many places where you can actually learn how to surf well, how to overcome fears, face scary situations… My friend used to go to surf camps 1-2 times a year since 2018, and she doesn’t know what a turtle roll is for example! If you want fast and stable results, you need rules and technology just as provided in Olo’s Surf Training Camp. There’s no other way.
