Family surf lesson, 100% recommend! - We decided to book this and give surfing a go, despite never having done it before. It was myself, my hubby and two girls 23 and 10. I was a little scared, but the people were very reassuring and got us quickly suited up. We grabbed some boards and a lad led us down to the beach carrying them. He went over the basics, his english was good and he answered any questions well. Once we were ready he took us into the water and we started to try and surf! It was so much fun, he helped get us started and we all kept trying until we got it! My ten year old was brilliant, and she did not want to stop she loved it that much. We are so glad we booked this and now we all know how to surf. It was so much fun and I would 100% recommend to anyone, thanks surfer dudes!

Perfect introductory lesson for those completely new to surfing! - Total surfing newbies were excited to get wet! The teachers from Essaouira Watersports were patient, helpful, fun, energetic, and knew their stuff! I could comfortably, as a parent, feel that my child was safely in good hands with those who were excited to share their love of surfing with him. I was delighted to see my son's confidence grow, and by the end of the 2-hour session, he had a deeper appreciation for the skill involved in the sport and was very proud that he managed to get up on the board a few times! **Wetsuit included. Bring a towel and shoes that are easy to get in and out of for the short walk to beach**

FABULOUS - We had a fantastic time at the Essaouira Watersport Club! Rachid was incredibly kind and helpful, and the whole team was warm, welcoming, and always smiling--especially Soliamn, who made us feel right at home. The atmosphere is super friendly and relaxed, making it the perfect place for a family surf camp. We'l definitely be coming back!

Never too old to learn - I (63) loved it! Had never snorted before but my son (23) said mom why don't you come. Indeed, why not. Most of all, I was afraid I had too little power to maneuver the board. At the desk there was a saying about winners and losers and I started talking about it: ‘if you think you’re old, your body acts old too’, said the relaxed, friendly surf dude. Then I was on. The first touch with the power of the waves was impressive but the instructor always told me exactly in time what to do and yes, it worked a few times. With muscle aches the next day and some bruises from falling, but I wouldn't have missed this! What fun. A real adrenaline rush!

Great experience for beginners - Would highly recommend to anyone looking to surf in Essaouira. We had a group of 5 beginners, and by the end of the 2-hour lesson, everyone was standing and confident enough to surf again without a lesson! Rusty communicated well and walked us over to the shop, and our instructor was patient and encouraging. They also made sure to take lots of action shots and videos!
