Longboard Coaching Week - Taghazoute

Introduction to Longboard Coaching Week - Taghazoute

If you have been on one of our longboard coaching weekends in Newquay over the last five years, you'll understand the benefit of advanced surf coaching to drive your longboarding to the next level. Now imagine, taking the same ethos to Morocco, a country full of fun longboard point breaks, endless sunshine and warm water. After two amazing trips in 2010 and Jan 2011, we will be running another on the 19th to 26th January 2012 (flying Thomson Fly).

We will be staying at the Hash Point surf villa which offers an unbeatable surf camp experience in one of finest surfing destinations in the world, the rustic fishing village of Taghazout. South Morocco provides some of the cleanest, longest, least crowded rides that can be found within a 4hr flight from London. Morocco is a world class surfing location, and the villa is perfectly located overlooking the surf ideal for our longboard coaching week.

Accommodation is in shared rooms within the villa. Each floor is equipped with a bathroom, satellite TV and high speed Wi-Fi. The terrace at the top of the villa has the best view in Taghazout and is a great lookout for all of the point breaks.

Food and Drink

You will be served breakfast and dinner at the surf villa's roof terrace. Lunch will be either barbeque or sandwiches and will be served at the surf spot chosen for that day.

Our Moroccan cooks have all worked in the Agadir Hotels as well as the local cafes of Taghazout. If you like authentic Moroccan cuisine then it just doesn't get any better than what these guys prepare! 

If you are worried that you won't like Moroccan food then fear not as Simo is a master of the omelettes and pizza too. If anyone is interested in learning how to cook a Tajine, just ask the guys for a stand in lesson and they will be more than happy to show you the ropes!

Please let us know if you have any specific dietary requirements and we will do our utmost to accommodate your requirements!

Surfing at Longboard Coaching Week - Taghazoute

This week is specifically design with the intermediate longboarder in mind. So if you can ride green waves (unbroken) already, and want to learn to nose ride better, generate speed, catch more/better waves or fine tune your style this is for you. Your surf coach, Chris Thomson, a level four BSA approved surf coach and professional longboarder will guide you through the week to ensure you do improve. Chris has delivered dozens of these courses in Newquay, each time honing his personal advanced coaching skills. The number of people will be kept to a maximum of 8 on the coaching week to enable Chris to really build on your surfing. Coaching will be run during the mornings, using the latest video coaching techniques with the afternoons free for free surfing, shopping or simply relaxing in the sun. Each evening Chris will run through the footage building personal surfing programmes for each of the eight surfers.

We would encourage you to bring your own longboard, but you can also hire in Morocco.
