A day in a life: At our Surf & Yoga Retreats
People often ask us what a day at our Surf & Yoga retreat actually feels like, and the truth is: no two days are ever the same. We live with the waves, we follow the energy, and most of the time the group starts to feel like family after the very first day. Still, there is a rhythm, the gentle, slow-life Moroccan kind, where time stretches out, meals taste better, you feel the sun rising and setting, the ocean becomes your clock, and laughter fills the space between activitie

Founder Roos: Her journey from city girl to Surf Retreat Host in Taghazout
Co-founder Roos enjoying the Moroccan life My journey to living the life I once only dreamed of! As a little girl, I vaguely remember searching Google for pictures of cool girls traveling the world in campervans, with surfboards and skateboards strapped to the roof. I was fascinated by that lifestyle, the freedom, the ocean, the adventure. But even though I went to a free-spirited school, I never felt confident enough to explore that side of myself. I was afraid people would

Surfing & Nutrition: The Best Moroccan Post-Surf Food
We’ve all been there: that raging hunger that hits the second you step out of the water. I definitely have, there’s not a single session where I don’t find myself in the shower, starving and dreaming of all the Moroccan food. It’s no surprise really, because surfing is an intense full-body workout. And when you burn calories, you’ve gotta replace them! But let’s be honest, smashing a Big Mac after every session doesn’t exactly fuel recovery the right way. Even though, yes,

Surftherapy: What I learned from Ben, founder of Surfivor
When I started searching for an internship, I spent a long time trying to find something that could connect my personal interests with my studies. I’m graduating from a master’s program in Health Promotion and Behavior Change, quite a mouthful. To put it simply, it’s a branch of psychology. Suddenly, the idea of surf therapy came to mind. Does that even exist? And if so, is it something that exists in the Netherlands? I started searching the internet and eventually got in tou

Taghazout Ultimate Guide: Everything you need to know before visiting this beautiful Moroccan surfing village!
Taghazout started out as a modest fishing village, where the locals were mainly concerned with the sea, but not with surfing, despite the perfect waves. That changed in the 1960s when American soldiers discovered this hidden gem in Morocco and were the first to carry their surfboards into the water. The French followed soon after, recognizing the power of the waves and naming famous surf spots such as Panorama and La Source . When the Australians made their way to Morocco
