Surf Twins Essaouira: From Childhood Dreams to Morocco’s Most Trusted Surf School

Surfing is not just a sport for us — it’s a way to connect with nature, people, and culture. That’s why we created a Surf Twins documentary, telling our story, struggles, and triumphs from childhood to becoming professional surf instructors. Over the years, we have welcomed over 7,000 surfers from around the world, building a vibrant community of people who share our love for the ocean, adventure, and the Moroccan way of life. With Surf Twins Essaouira, you don’t just ride waves — you explore hidden surf spots, experience local culture, and become part of something real. Join us for an unforgettable surf or kitesurf adventure on Morocco’s Atlantic coast.

The Surf Twins Story: Two Brothers, One Dream, Morocco’s Atlantic Coast

Being a twin is a unique experience — sharing every emotion, every dream, spending almost all your time together without ever getting bored of each other. We are Mouhssin and Yassine, twin brothers born and raised in Essaouira, Morocco. Surfing has been part of our lives for over 15 years. Growing up, we shared the same room, the same bed, and an unbreakable bond. Life was not always easy — we had to work hard just to survive. But one thing we always had was a dream: to help our family, follow our passion, and one day open our own surf school on the Atlantic coast. Today, Alhamdulillah, we live that dream every day — welcoming surfers and kitesurfers from all over the world to the waves we grew up on.

We also created the Surf Twins documentary to share our journey — our life, our struggles, and our love for surfing in Morocco — because this story is too real not to tell. With over 15 years of surfing experience and more than a decade as certified instructors, we have built teaching methods that work for every level: complete beginners, intermediates, families, and solo travellers. Every person who surfs with us becomes part of our community.

Our surf school is based in Sidi Kaouki, 25km south of Essaouira — one of Morocco’s finest surf and kitesurf spots, with consistent Atlantic swell, reliable winds, and a peaceful beach atmosphere far from the crowds. We offer surf lessons, kitesurf lessons, guided surf trips, and multi-day surf camps — all tailored to your level and goals.
