Surf, the coast and Simo
About Simo
Surfing was never a hobby — it became the work.
Simo grew up on Morocco's northern coast, where surfing started as a childhood obsession. It turned into years spent traveling the coastline.
At 17, that turned into a calling: he started coaching other surfers, and never really stopped. He eventually settled in Tamraght, on the Anti-Atlas coast, now certified by the Moroccan Surfing Federation and teaching the same way he learned — in the water, spot by spot, not from a fixed lesson plan.

The coast
Tamraght, on Morocco's surf coast
A former fishing village turned surf town, minutes from Taghazout, where the Anti-Atlas meets the Atlantic.
Tamraght sits on a stretch of coast known for consistent, rideable waves nearly year-round — from mellow beach breaks that suit first-timers to the points and reefs nearby for those pushing further.
Simo bases every lesson and guided session here, choosing between local spots depending on the swell, wind, and tide on the day.
