Need a break from the cold, want some quality surf lessons in warm water this winter. Bens Surf Clinic have put a great package together for the perfect winter surf trip.

After the success of last year we are heading back for another trip. Suggested dates are Jan 23rd and jan 30th, if interested mail me for more datails and i will have more up in the next few days.

Ok here are more details.

We are running two weeks

Sat 22^nd – 29th January 2010

Sat 29^th January – 5^th February 2010

Plan is to fly out on the Saturday to Agadir airport, we get picked up and drive up the coast to Imsouane, about an hour and a half north of Agadir, where our apartments look out over the beaches.

Details on accommodation :

The BoardX-House is fully designed to the needs of surfers. When coming home after a session you can take a shower and rinse & dry your suit before entering the building. At the basement level a rack available to store surfboards safely. Your apartment looks over the infamous ‘Point de Imsouane’, this long righthander often peels over 700m. Each apartment has a balcony equipped with a BBQ.
All residents of the BoardX-house can enjoy the terrace on the roof and the joint pool. From the terrace you can enjoy the view over the second bay with a beach break and the rigthhander point break called ‘La Cathedral’.

The 3 apartments are identical and offer 3 bedrooms each. This adds up to a total amount of 8 beds per apartment. The apartment is equipped with a bathroom, shower, separate toilet, and equipped kitchen. The kitchen and living room are an open space overlooking the BBQ equipped balcony and the famous bay of Imsouane. In the basement each apartment has room to store about 20 boards.

Surf info

The Imsouane Point break is one of the longest rights Morocco has to offer. On good days the 700m waves takes you to the last beach of the bay. A little extra: the wave works over sandy bottom.

The wave works best at low tide and shows the best of its skills during low spring tide. The spot needs really big swell to work at high tide.
The wide N to ZW swell window picks up lots of availible swell. The waves wrap around the reeflike peninsula and enter the bay as clean waves. When other spots in this part of Morocco can’t handle the big and heavy NW swell, the bay is still surfable.
Going in and out of the water couldn’t be easier. You can walk and peddle out protected by the harbour wall. On bigger days you can jump of the reef behind the wall where the currents in the deeper water suck you towards the peak.

The only downside you might encounter are the rips near the peak. Don’t worry they will only take you inside the bay. You need to peddle a little to stay in place, but as soon as you catch a nice wave you get a nice long ride to the beach. Just take a walk back to the harbour wall and go for another ride. At low tide you just walk on the sand, if you plan on surfing longer untill incomming tide, you might want to wear booties to walk on the rocks.

Other info:

Imsouane is a small fishing village, which is a quiet spot with a few restaurants and small shops, with a fish market where we can buy fish every day for very little.  The apartments are self catering, we plan to shop in a big super market in Agadir for breakfast, lunch, snacks and beer items and then pick up bits in the markets in the village. Hopefully we will be so wrecked surfing heading down to the village for grub will be our easy option.

So the cost for all of this is 380euro.
