The program
Day by dayDay of arrival
You are traveling with UCPA: flight schedules will be known a few weeks before departure.
During your stay
The free half-days will be chosen according to the surfing conditions, and according to the energy of the group.
It is therefore possible to leave earlier or later, or even do a session at sunrise or sunset. Ideally there will be a morning session, a lunch break, then an afternoon session. Sometimes the 2 sessions can be combined with a sandwich on the beach.
Example of typical days:
Morning: Breakfast and surf lessons
Morning: breakfast and surf lessons
You start your day with breakfast (8:30 to 9:30) facing the ocean, then your instructor comes to brief you on wave conditions and the various organizational choices.
9:30 departure for the spot. When the conditions are good, you surf at the foot of the residence.
On the beach you start by observing the conditions with your instructor, where is the peak, what are the currents, what is the best path to position yourself.
You review the gestures to be perfected: paddling, ducking to pass the foam zone and your standing position to surf effectively. If technique is an important area of progress, you will discuss everything related to water safety (currents, respect for safety distances, etc.)
Noon: Lunch and dinner
Return to the hotel at noon for lunch at home and break to nap or lounge by the pool.
Afternoon: Surf lessons
In the afternoon you go back to the water for the second session and thus strengthen your progress, at the end of the week you will gain autonomy in your area of practice.
The return to the center is around 16:00 - 17:00, which leaves some time after the shower to enjoy the swimming pool or go to the small village of Tagahzout, before meeting for aperitif and dinner.
During your free half-days, which will be positioned either in the middle of the week, or the least interesting day in terms of waves, you can visit the souk of Agadir, do yourself some good with a steam room or a massage, stroll through the streets of Taghazout and drink a smoothie, or simply let the time flow by the pool.
Last day
You are traveling with UCPA: flight schedules will be known a few weeks before departure.
SPOT
At the heart of Moroccan surfing
A wide choice of spots...
The La Source residence is located near the best Moroccan surf spots, within a radius of 30 KM around your we can estimate that there are about twenty spots... A short overview of the best known: The Source: in front of the residence... the background is a slab of rock and there are mostly left-handed people, that is to say that when you face the waves from the beach, they unfold to the right and vice versa for the right ones, they unfold to the left... are you following me? Anchor Point: long straight lines starting in front of the rocks, very beautiful waves for experienced surfers. K12: Sand wave, ideal for all levels, right and left Mistery: rock wave, rolls right at low tide, fast wave. And also K11, Killer Point, Dracula, Dracula, Boiler, Tamri etc... In short, you will always be on the spot adapted to your desires!
