For short-term visitors or newbies
Surf Lessons
Learning to surf can be a fun beach holiday activity or the start of a lifelong passion! Qualified instruction is the fastest, best and by far safest way to make big strides whether you are a complete beginner or simply wanting to surf new locations and bigger waves.
For beginners, we teach ocean awareness, water safety, wave riding technique, surfer etiquette, and the other basic skills needed to get you riding on your own. Beginners of all ages are welcome.
For intermediate or more advanced students, we will focus on the appropriate skills to help you progress quickly in whatever area of surfing interests you most. All equipment is provided for the surf lesson, including wetsuits, surfboards, leashes and transport.

Kitesurf Lessons
Surfari Essaouira offers a series of three lessons to get beginners up and speeding across the water. These are available as individual lessons, or you can save money and buy them as a bundle.
In the beginning, many students are tempted to skip those all-important first steps. With us though, the first lessons focus intensely on rigging, mechanics, judging conditions, and knowing how to manoeuvre yourself with a board in and out of the water. We understand that you will be eager to get out there and start having fun but it’s important to first spend time learning proper kite control and safety, and how to be a responsible kitersurfer. All equipement is provided for the kitesurf lesson, including kite, board, kite bar, harness, safety accessory and transport.

It's All About Having Fun!
The team here at Surfari Essaouira wants to help you make great strides with your surfing - from standing up on the board and catching your first green wave, to heading out to catch bigger waves. But the absolute most important thing for us is that you enjoy yourself while doing it!
It’s simple - surfing should be fun. It’s about discovering sandy beaches and nice waves with good friends, or even sharing a few laughs with new friends. And the more fun you have, the more you will want to keep practicing and progress.
Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, if you’re not having fun while surfing then you’re doing it wrong!

What our guests Say

Caro, Germany
"Soufiane is the best surf teacher I met - I took classes before. And he is just a nice person. He really cared for me and my boyfriend perfectly and in the end, we finally surfed. He offered us tea afterward and we talked about the country and Essaouira - no time pressure at all. I highly recommend his lessons."

Kai, Austria
"The surfing lesson with Soufiane was awesome, I really enjoyed it! He was a very good, experienced and patient teacher and cool to talk to! He gave great instructions which made it a lot easier for beginners so I even managed to stand on the board and ride some good waves. I would definitely recommend this surfing lesson :)"

Irma, Netherlands
"It was a great surfing lesson with Soufiane. The communication before was great. We got picked up at our riad and went to a surfing spot. Soufiane gave a good explanation about the safety and materials. During the lesson, he was patient and gave great advice about how to improve our skills. He really took his time with us and made sure that we felt comfortable. His enthusiasm made that we kept on trying! We spent more time in the water than advertised because he wouldn't stop before we had that one great picture. A nice cup of tea and fast message of the pictures and clips made this experience complete."
