5Perfect first time surfing, thanks to Soufiane
It was my first time surfing and I honestly had such a great experience from start to finish. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, and I immediately felt comfortable. A special mention to Soufiane, who was my instructor and was absolutely great. He was super patient with me at every step, always encouraging and making sure I felt comfortable while learning. He really made my first surfing experience such a good one. I would definitely recommend this surf school and I’ll definitely be back!

About Essaouira
Essaouira is a windswept Atlantic port in Morocco, a walled medina of blue boats, ramparts with old cannon and craftsmen working in thuya wood.
Essaouira was laid out in the 1760s under Sultan Mohammed III, who had a European engineer design a fortified port with a grid of streets inside high walls, now a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Skala de la Ville, a rampart lined with bronze and iron cannon, looks over the Atlantic, and the harbour below is crowded with blue fishing boats and screaming gulls. Orson Welles filmed scenes of Othello here.
