Catch your first waves on the gentle beach breaks a 10-minute walk from the Medina. Learn to paddle, stand up and read the ocean, in a relaxed, positive atmosphere.
Follow the open face of the wave, start turning left and right, and make the step from foam board to hard board with personal guidance.
Reef and point breaks within 30 minutes of Rabat, chosen for the day’s swell, including La Crique in Bouznika: long, peeling waves in a sheltered cove.

Founder · Former pro surfer · African champion · ISA & Moroccan Federation certified coach · Rip Curl team rider
Born in Rabat, Abdel made history as the first Moroccan to compete on the WSL QS Tour and the first ever invited to the legendary Pipeline Masters in Hawaii. He brings world-class knowledge, personal attention and a deep love for the ocean to every session, from complete beginners to competitive athletes.
Rabat is one of Morocco’s most underrated surf destinations: uncrowded, consistent waves and a wide variety of spots. From Mehdia beach in the north to Bouznika bay in the south, everything is within a 30-minute drive.
Ideal for beginners and progression, a 10-minute walk from the Medina.
Lefts, rights and slabs for more experienced surfers.
Our hidden gem, the “uncrowded Imsouane”: long, peeling waves in a sheltered cove.

“I had an amazing experience with Medina Surfing and Abdel’s mobile surf school! What makes this surf school unique is the flexibility of the mobile setup: you’re not limited to just one beach in Rabat. Abdel knows the best local surf spots and takes you where the waves are best that day.”
“Surf with a legend – Abdel Elharim! He knows every hidden surf spot around Rabat and will make sure you’re in the right place at the right time to catch the best uncrowded waves. 100% recommended!”
« Superbe team avec une ambiance conviviale, des moniteurs passionnés et pédagogues. Le matériel est de qualité et les cours adaptés à tous les niveaux. Moi-même et mes deux garçons de 6-7 ans, on a été aux anges ! »
“Definitely 5 stars! Abdel is amazing, inside and outside the water. I had the best time in the water with Abdel. I learned and laughed a lot. Would definitely recommend!”
