I spent a day in Essaouira and took a two hour group lesson with some gals from the riad we stayed at in Marrakech. Momo was our instructor -- I have surfed before but not frequently enough to make much progress so the beginner level instruction he gave us was perfect. He's patient and communicates very well. We all made... More

We had a lot of fun surfing in Essaouira. it seems quite different to the rest of Morocco because it's so relaxed and everyone is really friendly. The surf school is great- the instructors are brilliant and they always try to help you with whatever you need. The waves were perfect for beginners when we went and started to get... More

They were really flexible about arranging lessons and tremendously helpful in general - the owner's wife personally... More

There were always happy to help and offer truly informed advice, even to members of our group who were not enjoying... More

Sara was very helpful in recommending riads and arranging the booking. Being total beginners the guys really made an... More

We met Sara on the plane on our way to Morocco and decided to go and meet her in Essaouira,where she helps run Explora. The surf was great fun and our instructor (Momo) very helpful and instructive. The rest of the staff and the other punters were great fun and helped make our stay really enjoyable. I am looking forward... More
