PaddleOut Morocco team on the beach in Tamraght

About us

A Tamraght surf camp, run by locals

PaddleOut opened in 2024, started by Tamraght locals who had been coaching visiting surfers on the breaks they grew up on. The same locals run the camp, the coaching and the kitchen.

Our journey

From one home break to a surf camp

  1. Before

    Where it started

    A small group of Tamraght locals coached visiting friends on the breaks they had surfed since childhood. No camp, no website, just word of mouth.

  2. 2024

    PaddleOut opens

    Word spread. We opened a surf house, brought on experienced local coaches and a yoga teacher, and grew into a full surf camp built around what works: small groups and real local knowledge.

  3. Today

    Still hands-on

    Every guest is still coached by someone who grew up on this coastline. That's the one thing we'll never outsource.

Who we are

Built by Tamraght locals

PaddleOut is run by people who grew up surfing the breaks between Tamraght and Taghazout. We know which wave works at which tide, and we pick the spot each morning for your level.

First-timers start on gentle beach breaks. If you already surf, the coaches take you to the reef and point breaks up the coast, film your session and go through it with you in the evening. Dinner, yoga and the rooftop sunsets happen together as a group.

  • Owned and run by Tamraght locals since 2024
  • Small guest-to-coach ratios in the water
  • The best surf spot chosen fresh, every day
  • Home-cooked Moroccan meals, not catered
  • Rooftop yoga at sunset, led by an instructor
  • A house where guests become friends

Such a great experience! Four of us stayed for a week and absolutely loved it. The staff were incredible and made the whole place feel like home, which was honestly my favourite part. The atmosphere is super relaxed and authentic, so if you’re looking for something overly touristy or “perfect,” this probably isn’t the spot for you. Which is exactly what makes it so special. Staying here made us feel more like locals than tourists, and we wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.

Mogę ocenić tylko lekcje surfingu, które były na najwyższym poziomie. Nie korzystałem z noclegu. Lekcje w przyjemnej atmosferze, deska i pianka w dobrym stanie.

Had a great time — thank you! Would definitely come again :) Amazing value for money, with food (breakfast, dinner, and a small beach lunch), accommodation, surfing, and yoga all included. The team is very kind and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. Surfing is great for beginners (around 2–3 hours daily), and I really enjoyed the yoga classes at the hostel. Some room for improvement in organization, communication, and cleanliness, but overall a great experience. Perfect if you’re looking for a laid-back surf hostel with good yoga, friendly people, and a nice rooftop — great value for money!
