Surfing Safi 

Safi surf spot

The wave of Safi is an amazing wave in Morocco, probably the best of Morocco!!! When the perfect conditions are together, the surf spot of the " Garden" in the city of Safi take airs of a mixture of Kirra and J-bay as described it Gary Elkerton.
Here is a video that shows this spot in all its perfection, we love you Safi
Althow it is not a very consistant spot, the spot of Safi gave us many many good times out there!!!

Safi Barrels

For several years already, Safi is known for its very long barrels, super hollow, and fast. Many surfers from around the world dream to surf that wave, and some of them did already. Surfing Safi is an experience of a life time, when it is on, it is ON!!!

Marco Giorgi Uruguay/Brazil in Morocco

January 6th 2011, a group of Brazilian surfers came to Morocco for a surf trip. Fabio Gouveia, Marcelo Trekinho, Binho Nunes and Marco Giorgi. They had amazing waves and they all enjoyed all what the Moroccan coast line could offer them of different types of EPIC RIGHT HANDERS.
Marco Giorgi dominated what he called the most emotional wave of the trip. He had this epic super deep barrel after a late drop in a wave that has nothing to be intimated from in front of waves like Backdoor or The Box as i've previously heard from people that had surfed all these surf spots.

Surf Localism in Morocco

Surf Localism in Morocco

Localism and Moroccan surfers 





Localism in Morocco is not very commun as you have a multitude of surf spots along the 2000kms of coast line Morocco has. Only in the famous breaks closer to the towns and villages you will find friendly locals that expect a little respect from the visitors.

Localism out side the Line ups

Morocco is a very safe country, where you will feel welcome, either in cities such as Agadir, or village such as Aourir, Banana Village or Taghazout. You can hang out with locals as they are very friendly, or just hang out with your friends without beeing in danger in Morocco.
