Your stay, not just a lesson

A day with Playtide

No crowded tourist beach, no conveyor-belt lessons. Just a small crew of surfers sharing the ocean they grew up with.

  1. 01Every morning

    We surf this coast every day.

    We know every beach from Tamraght to Agadir. We take you where the sea is good today.

  2. Instructor and student paddling side by side, smiling, in calm blue water

    02In the water

    We paddle out with you.

    Your instructor is in the water with you, one tip at a time.

  3. Surfer riding a small green wave on a calm morning sea

    03The feeling

    You’ll fall. You’ll laugh. You’ll stand up.

    The board takes off, someone shouts your name, and you can’t stop smiling.

Meet your instructors

Tamraght is our home break. We’re in the water every day, and we speak your language: English, French or Arabic.

How your surf lesson works

  1. Meet your instructor.

    On the beach we agreed on. We fit your board and wetsuit.

  2. Warm up on the sand.

    Then the basics on dry land: lie, paddle, stand up.

  3. Safety first.

    How to fall, where the currents are, how to share the waves.

  4. Play in the waves.

    Your instructor stays close and guides you.

  5. Debrief on the beach.

    What went well, and your next step in the water.

Surf lessons in Morocco: your questions

Do I need experience to take surf lessons in Tamraght, Taghazout or Agadir?

No. Every lesson is open to complete beginners: you don't need to be sporty or a strong swimmer, just at ease in the water. Surf Guiding is the one exception: it's for surfers who already catch unbroken waves on their own.

What is included in a surf lesson, and what should I bring?

Your instructor, a wetsuit and a board, soft or hard. Want photos of your session? Add them for €20 when you send your request. Bring a swimsuit, a towel, sunscreen and water.

Where do the lessons take place, and where do we meet?

Around our base in Tamraght, and in Taghazout and Agadir. We choose the beach that suits the sea on the day, with your wishes in mind, and agree on the meeting point when we confirm. We don't offer pick-up: plan a taxi or your own transport.

How do I book a surf lesson, and how do I pay?

Send us a request with our request form or on WhatsApp. We reply within 2 hours, from 8 am to 6 pm, and your lesson is booked once we agree on the time and the meeting point. Nothing to pay online and no deposit: you pay in cash after your session, in euros or dirhams, with no added fees.

What if the sea is not suitable, or I need to cancel?

If the sea isn't safe, we move or cancel your session and you pay nothing. If your plans change, just tell us by WhatsApp or email: cancelling is free. Full details are in our booking terms.
