Agenda and practical details for a 2-hour Agadir surf session
Arrive 15 minutes early to meet your prof instructors and scan the conditions with your group.
The 2-hour session blends an introduction with practical drills: warm-up, paddling on a board, and controlled rides under the watch of our instructors. Each rider receives explicit guidance, with emphasis on safety and technique. If you’re nervous, instructors adjust the pace and offer simple, sequenced steps that build confidence. Feedback helps them improve.
Equipment includes foam boards sized for beginners and intermediates, and no license is required to participate. Remember to bring sunscreen, a towel, and a bottle of water. Pour a quick sip between drills to stay hydrated. Taroudant travelers should plan for extra travel time to reach Agadir, especially during peak hours.
To help you stay focused, each drill uses a short, clear progression so you can escape crowded spots and concentrate on your own form. After the intro, you’ll progress through paddling, stand-up practice, and short rides under supervision, with adjustments tailored to your level and style.
The complete plan emphasizes introduction, safety, paddling, stand-up work, and a wrap-up. After the session, you’ll know your next steps as a surfer and can ask questions with your instructors for each skill set.

Safety Protocols and Instructor-to-Student Ratios
Recommendation: Maintain a rate of 4:1 across the 2-hour Agadir lesson to ensure hands-on guidance, rapid feedback, and clear safety signals in the water.
Our surfschool follows a passo-by-step safety approach led by anas and our experienced team. Before any wave time, we brief on local tides, current hazards, and the boundaries of the practice area. We show how to enter and exit the water, how to place boards, and how to signal for help. This briefing helps nervous participants settle in and build trust with the group.
Group structure and coverage
- Groups stay within the 4:1 rate; the typical class size is 3–4 students per instructor. If demand rises, we split into two micro-groups to preserve the coaching pace.
- anas oversees safety on the beach and coordinates in-water coaching with a dedicated prof team to keep vibes calm and focused.
- Equipment checks occur at check-in and just before entering the water: boards inspected, leashes checked, wax refreshed, and life jackets available for beginners as needed.
- Designated areas on the sand and in shallow water mark the practice zones; lifeguard guidance may be available depending on location and conditions.
Logistics and drop-off details
- Drop-off and vehicle access: families drop off at the surfschool front area, then proceed to the parking zone; staff log the participant and secure gear, so late arrivals don’t disrupt the group flow.
- Logistics for transport and timing: check-in starts 15 minutes before the session; the lesson runs in two 45-minute blocks with a 15-minute water break and debrief.
- Areas of focus: balance and stance, paddling basics, and safe standing up on the board; each segment is demonstrated, practiced, and refined with feedback.
Support for different comfort levels
- For children and nervous riders, we pair with patient instructors and provide extra demonstrations, passo-by-step coaching, and a gradual progression to small waves.
- In late-stage practice, students may transition from shallow-water exercises to light, safe waves within the agreed zones, keeping the group intact and the rate stable.
- Post-session notes highlight what was learned, what to practice later, and when to book the next session to continue progress.
Outcomes and safety culture
With clear protocols and a steady pace, participants gain confidence, improve balance, and develop a consistent approach to wave selection. The atmosphere remains family-friendly, and the staff projects a prof vibe that keeps everyone focused on safety and progress. This approach creates an unforgettable experience for families and first-timers.
Beginner Techniques Taught: Paddling, Pop-Up, and Balance
Choose a board that matches your height and weight, and begin with a 5-minute paddling warm-up in knee-deep water. This helps you find a comfortable stance and builds confidence before you meet the waves. Our experienced staff run a small-group session that emphasizes stress-free practice, while offering individual feedback to help you become more fluent in surfing. Bring a compact quil for a quick sand warm-up between sets to keep hands ready for grip.
- Paddling: Setup, stroke, and rhythm
- Position: kneel near the center of the board, hips squared, feet parallel. This stable base helps you manage faster changes in water between sets.
- Grip and reach: place hands wider than shoulder-width, fingers relaxed; reach forward with a smooth arc, then pull back with the back arm while rotating the torso.
- Stroke cadence: breathe in during the reach and exhale on the pull; aim for 8–12 strong strokes per side on a foam-prone day, then rest briefly.
- Common cues: keep elbows close to your sides and eyes on the horizon to reduce wobble; if you feel a flip of balance, reset with a few slow reps.
- Tip for progression: practicing on calm water first helps you notice how board and body move together; change tempo as you progress, which aids timing when waves arrive.
- Pop-Up: From kneeling to standing in one fluid motion
- Setup: hands flat on the board, just behind the shoulders; look forward as you push up into a crouch.
- Foot placement: plant the front foot between your hands, then sweep the back foot up to a shoulder-width stance; stay low and centered.
- Motion: press with arms, tuck the chest, and stand in a single, smooth movement; land softly with knees bent to absorb the first ride.
- Drop-off awareness: avoid a sudden drop-off of the back foot by keeping hips over the board and finishing the pop with balanced weight.
- Practice plan: 6–10 reps on land or in knee-deep water helps you feel the rhythm before waves appear.
- Balance: Stance, micro-adjustments, and stability drills
- Stance and weight: keep a half-squat position with feet between shoulder-width and hip-width; distribute weight evenly to prevent edging.
- Drills: use a moving board or gentle swell to train how your torso compensates for shifts; aim to keep your shoulders square to the nose of the board.
- Between paddles: transition smoothly by aligning hips with the board’s midline and taking a brief, quiet breath to reset.
- Note for self-improvement: if you feel unsteady, practice a quick pop-up drill or a held balance for 3–5 seconds, then try again; this helps you travel toward well-controlled moves.
- Personal pace: in a small-group setting, coaches tailor tips for each person, which reduces stress and increases enjoyment, and you’ll see progress between sessions.
If you’re booked for a lesson during travel, arrive 10 minutes early so staff can assign you to the right board and partner you with an experienced guide who can tailor cues to your level. As you practice, you’ll notice improvements in timing, confidence, and the ability to remain relaxed on the water, which is exactly what turns beginners into confident surfers.
Lunch Options, Timing, and Dietary Choices
For best energy after your 2-hour surf lesson, eat a light, protein-rich lunch 60 to 90 minutes later to stay suited for the afternoon adventure.
Choose convenient options at your hotel or a nearby local cafe; look for grilled fish with lemon, a hearty chickpea salad, or a lean chicken bowl, all of which pair well with water or mint tea and keep you ready for the next set on the surfboard. If you’re staying in tiznit or plan an afternoon excursion, ask for a portable option that travels well and won’t slow you down during your session that way.
Dietary choices are personal, and the guiding team can tailor options to suit halal, vegetarian, gluten-free, or dairy-free needs. Mention such preferences when you book, and the local kitchen will adjust sauces and portions so that everyone feels comfortable and satisfied for the course. You’ll find fruit, yogurt, and light salads on most menus to support toning and recovery after each wave.
Timing can shift with weather-dependent conditions, but our staff ensures a smooth flow. That variability is expected and managed, and the plan is to align lunch with the afternoon schedule so surfers and other participants can refuel without missing waves; if the weather is favorable, we add a short extra break for a snack or a quick walk, making the afternoon convenient for all persons in your group.
To maximize flexibility, we offer three practical routes: dine at your hotel, visit a nearby cafe, or carry a compact lunch from a local market. This approach is suited for individuals and groups, and our personal, local guides can tailor the pace to your needs while you focus on the adventure ahead. After lunch, you can reset, stretch, and hit the water again with renewed energy for the rest of that afternoon.
What to Bring, Wear, and On-Site Check-In
Pack light and practical: bring a quick-dry swimsuit or board shorts, a UV rash guard, reef-safe sunscreen (SPF 30+), lip balm, a small towel, and a reusable water bottle. Add a lightweight windbreaker for breeze at the beachside and a snack. Use a compact daypack so less gear means less clutter; that keeps your hands free for a quick warm-up and a smooth check-in. You’ll be on water within minutes of arrival, guided by our instruction team.
Wear and fit: opt for a light wetsuit or shorty if the water feels cool, and choose a rash guard with long sleeves for sun protection. Footwear stays on the beachside; remove flip-flops before entering the water. If you’re joining travellers from around the world, you’ll notice an eager, friendly vibe that makes the second lesson feel natural. For a confident advance in technique, keep your gear simple and ready for the waves to come, as progress often hinges on comfort and mobility. Follow the passo-style warm-up led by your guide to prepare your body and mind for the first wave.
On-site check-in: arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled start at the beachside tent. Present your booking package, confirm participant details, and sign the liability waivers. If conditions trigger cancellations, we’ll notify you immediately and offer a flexible reschedule or alternative time window. After check-in, a staff member will help you select a board that matches your weight and height, and provide a quick safety briefing and technique guidance to set you up for success during the session.
Gear, safety, and extras: the package includes a board and leash; you can add a wetsuit upgrade if the air or water feels chilly. Bring only essentials to keep the pack light–this helps you focus on that core surfer progression. Your guide will explain the risk and how to handle currents, always encouraging you to listen to guidance. Surfweek events at the beachside location bring a steady cadence of classes, and our team accommodates travellers of all levels, with cancellations managed to keep you moving and learning every day.
