Behind every good surf school Essaouira there is a team of instructors who love their home break. Our coaches were born in Essaouira or nearby villages and have spent thousands of hours in this bay. They know how the sandbanks move after each storm, how the swell bends around the island and which tide is best for each level. Just as important, they know how to make guests from many countries feel relaxed and welcome.
In this article we introduce a few of them: the former fisherman who switched from boats to boards, the local who started teaching surf to kids on wooden planks, the polyglot instructor who speaks five languages and can joke with almost anyone on the beach. When you book a lesson, you are not just paying for technique; you are connecting with people who live and breathe Essaouira surf culture.
