Where you'll stay.
Shaka Ashore, our surf house in Imsouane. A relaxed and welcoming surf house just around 400m from the beach — close enough to walk down in your wetsuit, but tucked away from the busiest part of town. With cosy shared and private rooms, rooftop hammocks, chill areas, sea views and communal spaces, it'll be our little home for the week — a place to surf, relax and share the experience together. 🌊

The week.
Surfing always depends on the ocean, so this itinerary is indicative rather than fixed — we'll move things around during the week to make the most of the conditions.
Surf levels: Groups will be organised by level, with a maximum of 5 surfers per coach. The aim is to help everyone progress at a pace that feels comfortable — whether you're working in the white water or catching green waves.
Sat 27 Feb
Arrival + Welcome Dinner with Traditional Live Music
Welcome to Imsouane! Check in at Shaka Ashore. Settle in, meet everyone and start exploring our home for the week. In the evening we will have our welcome dinner with traditional live music, the perfect way to meet the group and start the retreat with some proper Moroccan atmosphere.
Sun 28 Feb
Surf Day + First Video Analysis
Time for our first coached surf session — we'll split into groups by level, with a maximum of 5 people per coach. Afterwards, we'll have our first video analysis session to identify what we want to work on throughout the week.
Mon 1 Mar
Surf Day + Timlaline Sunset Sandboarding
Back in the water for our second coached session, then around 16:30 we leave for the sunset sandboarding at the Timlaline dunes with Moroccan tea and music. No experience needed, just good energy and willingness to get a little sandy!
Tue 2 Mar
Surf Day + Optional Surfskate Workshop
After our third coached session, you have the option to join our surfskate workshop and take the movements we've been working on in the water onto land, and keep practising for the rest of the week if you fall in love with it. Surfskate workshop is optional, not included in the retreat price.
Wed 3 Mar
Flexible Day + Optional Longboard Workshop
Today is about listening to your body. Rest, explore Imsouane, or book an extra surf session, the longboard workshop, yoga/Pilates, hammam or massage. The longboard workshop takes place in the water and is particularly suited to more confident surfers who are ready to work on movement and stepping techniques. Optional activities are not included in the retreat price.
Thu 4 Mar
Surf Day + Pilates + Second Video Analysis
Our fourth coached session, putting the week's work into practice. Later, we'll have our Pilates class to stretch and recover, followed by our second video analysis session to compare our progress since Day 1 and take your coach's final points into Friday's last session.
Fri 5 Mar
Final Surf + Goodbye Dinner
Our final full day together. Fifth and final coached session, one last chance to put everything into practice. In the evening we will have our Goodbye dinner to celebrate the week and how far we've come.
Sat 6 Mar
Breakfast + Goodbye
No scheduled surfing. Final breakfast together, pack our things and leave Imsouane not only with better surfing, but with a few new surf buddies whose numbers are staying in our phones.

What if my surf level doesn't fit?
It almost certainly does — this retreat is built for adults who started later. We surf in groups by level, so everyone progresses at a comfortable pace. If you're unsure, email me before you pay and I'll tell you honestly.
Still unsure about something? Email me before you pay. I'd rather answer the question than have you wonder.
