THE PEOPLEMAKE THE WEEK.

Local surfers, real coaches, terrible jokes, endless patience. This is who you'll share the water — and the dinner table — with.

Founder & Head Coach

ILYASS.

Local surferRiderDreamerStoke spreader

Born and raised on this coastline, Ilyass has surfed Taghazout since before it was famous. He knows what every spot does on every tide, which café has the best amlou, and exactly how to get a nervous beginner laughing between wipeouts.

His coaching style is simple: honest, patient and completely in your corner. He surfs every session like it's his first — and treats every guest's first wave like it's his own.

The dream team

The people who’ll be in the water with you.

Local surfers, professionally trained instructors and lifeguards, and human beings who genuinely care about your progress.
