Our story

A surf school in a surf village.

Tamraght sits on the coast north of Agadir, with sandy beach breaks for learning and the famous point breaks of Taghazout a few minutes up the road. It is a good place to learn, and a good place to keep surfing once you can.

Tayri Surf is led by head coach Imad. We keep the school small on purpose: you message us, we answer, and the people who answer are the people who will be in the water with you.

Our approach

How we teach

  1. 01

    Small groups, sorted by level

    You surf with people at your level, so the coach can give each of you real time in the water instead of shouting from the beach.

  2. 02

    The right beach for the day

    Swell, wind and tide change every day on this coast. We check the forecast and choose where and when to surf for your level, not for convenience.

  3. 03

    Learning that lasts

    Stance, pop-up and reading the whitewash first. Green waves and turns when you are ready. The goal is that you can keep surfing after your trip.

The coaches

Imad is the head coach of Tayri Surf. These are the coaches you meet on the beach, in their usual warm-up before a lesson.

Safety

Safe in the water

Before you go in

Every lesson starts with a briefing on the sand: how the waves break on that beach, where the current runs, how to hold and leave your board, and how to fall safely.

In the water

Beginners stay in the whitewash, usually at a depth where you can stand. The coach stays close, keeps the group together and tells you when to come in.

Choosing the spot

We only take a group to a beach that suits its level on that day. When the sea is too big for learning, we move to a sheltered beach or change the time.

Equipment

Boards and wetsuits

Beginners learn on long, wide soft-top boards: they float well, they are stable when you stand up and they do not hurt when they hit you. As you progress we move you to shorter, harder boards.

Tell us your height and weight when you book, and we bring a wetsuit and a board that fit.

First lesson

It starts on the sand.

The first time you meet us is the briefing: the group sits on the beach, the coach shows the moves on land, and only then do you take the board to the water.
