What payment methods do you accept?

0% Surf Level - is that accepted?
Absolutely, Yes! Our surf coaching is designed for all levels – whether you’ve never touched a board or want to improve your pop-up, you’ll feel supported and safe.
What if I'm an advanced surfer?
Perfect! While our standard lessons accommodate all levels, advanced surfers can add specialized coaching sessions during booking. You'll join regular group lessons plus get personalized instruction to work on advanced techniques, wave reading, and performance surfing.
Can I bring my own surfboard and wetsuit?
Of course! You're welcome to bring your own gear if you prefer. However, we already have everything ready – quality surfboards and 3/2 wetsuits in all sizes are available for your use, so you can travel light and stress-free.
During cooler seasons (autumn, winter, spring), a 3/2 wetsuit is perfect, while summer months are comfortable with just a shorty. If you get cold easily in water, consider bringing a 4/3 wetsuit. All our packages include 3/2 wetsuits for your use.

Morocco delivers excellent surf conditions throughout the year, but September through April provides the most reliable swells and pleasant temperatures. This season is ideal for surfers of every skill level.
Do you offer group discounts or custom packages?
Absolutely! We provide special group rates and can create fully customized packages tailored to your group's specific needs – whether that's extended stays, private yoga sessions, special dietary requirements, or exclusive camp bookings.
