Meet Ismail

Your local surf instructor in Taghazout.

Born and raised in Taghazout, I grew up surrounded by the ocean and the surf culture of Morocco. Today I help travellers from all over the world discover surfing in a fun, safe and relaxed way.

Whether you are standing on a surfboard for the first time or working on your technique, we choose the beach for your level and the conditions of the day, so you can focus on enjoying the ocean. Board and wetsuit are always included.

How the lessons work
Ayour means “moon” in Tamazight. The moon moves the tides, and the tides shape the waves.
