Rediscovering the Joy of Surfing

As a professional surfer who’s spent years chasing waves across Central America, I thought I had experienced it all. But the allure of Morocco’s surf scene, particularly in Tamraght, was too tempting to resist. I had heard whispers of the magic that Tiziri and his team could conjure, and I was eager to see if they could reignite the spark of surfing in me, just as they had for so many others.

Arriving in Tamraght, I was greeted by the warm sun and the rhythmic sound of the ocean. The vibe was laid-back, much like the beach towns I frequent in Costa Rica and Nicaragua. The instructors, Yassin, Abdullah, and Hamza, welcomed me with open arms, their passion for surfing evident in every word and gesture. They promised a personalized experience, and they delivered.

The lessons were intimate, with small groups that allowed for individual attention. It was refreshing to be part of a community that valued progress and personal growth over competition. The instructors’ careful monitoring and encouraging words made all the difference. I found myself standing on the board with a newfound confidence, the joy of riding waves washing over me like a long-lost friend.

Beyond the Waves

But the experience with Tiziri was more than just surfing. It was a holistic journey that nourished both body and soul. The healthy lunches on the beach, the delicious dinners at Yassin’s home, and the camaraderie shared with fellow surfers were all part of the magic.

One of the highlights was an epic surf trip to Imsouane, a spot known for its long, peeling waves. The thrill of riding those waves was matched only by the laughter and stories shared on the journey there and back. It reminded me of the surf trips I’ve taken with my wife, where the journey is just as important as the destination.

The sandboarding adventure added an unexpected twist to the trip. It was a reminder that the thrill of the ride isn’t limited to the ocean. The generosity and flexibility of the instructors made every moment enjoyable, and the conversations and laughter were as restorative as the surfing itself.

A Lasting Impression

As my time in Tamraght came to an end, I found myself reflecting on the incredible memories I had made. The experience had been restorative and enriching, a reminder of why I fell in love with surfing in the first place. The progress I made in such a short time was a testament to the skill and dedication of the instructors.

I left with a heart full of gratitude and a promise to return. The magic of Tiziri and the warmth of the people I met had left an indelible mark on me. For anyone seeking to rediscover the joy of surfing and fill their body and mind with happiness, I couldn’t recommend this experience more.

Tamraght, with its sun-soaked beaches and welcoming community, is a place where surfers of all levels can find their groove. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a beginner, the waves here have something special to offer. And with the guidance of Tiziri and his team, you’re sure to leave with incredible memories and a renewed love for the ocean.
