Many travellers know that the North African town of Taghazout (pronounced Tar-razoot) is virtually synonymous with surfing. Well-informed hipsters have been riding waves in these Moroccan shores since the early noughties.
This influx of boardies was largely due to the launch of surfing holiday and retreat company Surf Maroc, in 2003. Founded by husband and wife team, Vicki and Ollie Boswell, the company’s initial focus was making surfing accessible to all budgets and abilities. But it quickly became apparent that surfers needed the mat and yogis wanted the board and as such, a dual-focus surf and yoga holiday was born.
