Weaseled my way into a "work trip" to Europe in March. Planning on booking a week in Anchor Point country after the business is done. Probably just going to do a package deal since i won't have the proper time to explore. It's not prime season, but hell if I'll get another chance to see Morocco for so cheap.

Looking at this http://www.morocsurf.com/

Or http://www.moroccosurfadventures.com/index.html

pretty cheap for food, guide, and lodging.

Anybody been? Anyone have advice?

Jet plane tomorrow. a few days in germany, a couple in paris, then 7 days in da' tubes of moroc. hopefully. just did the brainless, fully catered camp route. http://www.morocsurf.com

fingers crossed. looks like the region just had a four day flat spell.

Stoked for you man.
A four day flat spell could mean you are due to score.

update please. how the tubes?

I remember speaking with Marwan (if you know him..you know) about surfing there. Pretty sick from what I have heard.

The Rockin' Moroccan.

Is he still around? Havent seen him for years now.

Great trip. Amazing array of right points. Empty line ups, in part because it was late march, and more that half the week had overhead surf on the points. I wasn't really into the group compromise that came with going to a surf camp, but the access to waves and mindless vacation made the late morning starts and waiting on other surfers to get their acts together in the AM was worth the trade off. Was never in a group of more than 6 which was fine with the lack of crowds. The food was really good too. Got a $2 straight razor shave at the local souk (market) that was awesome. Broke a really fun DHD that i'd rented on the third day. Surfed the wave in the intro of Sipping Jetstreams. Even at head high it was heavy and I was pulling back. If it wasn't so expensive to get there from Oregon, i'd go back in a second. I can count at least 10 different right points that we checked or surfed. Anka Point and south towards Agadir were the only ones with surfers on them. The Mercedes 240D sedan is king in Moroccan taxis. Rode in a couple taxis with over 800K Km on the clock.

In conclusion, go there if you can. I'm already trying to figure out how to get my work to send me to Europe again.

$425 for seven nights at the camp. Breakfast, lunch, airport transfers included.
$12/night for dinner that was cooked in-house.
$15/day for board rental

Broken board cost me about $250 and had a visit to a Moroccan doc for a swollen foot from some mystery bug bite. That was only $55 for the office visit, super painful penicillin shot, and a week's antibiotics though. When it was all said and done, i probably dropped $1000-1200 for the week. Beers, buying stuff, a nice dinner out one night...it all adds up.

Getting there is obviously the major expense. I was lucky and my work paid for me to go to Europe so I just had a $200 flight from Paris. Wouldn't have gone otherwise.

Nice! It does add up, cash goes quick when you spend it like it's someone elses and that's easy to do on trips
