A cool Atlantic wind cuts across the sand as you step from the parking spot to a stretch of golden beach near Agadir. Small, glassy waves roll in with a steady cadence, and the instructor—local, practiced—unfurls a board and marks a shaded base with an umbrella. The day begins with a quick beach theory session, then moves into the water for a focused 2.5-hour morning lesson that teaches paddling, pop-up technique, wave selection and safety.
