"We were a little late in meeting our driver due to a bit of confusion at the desk in our hotel but all worked out in the end. We had a nice guy called Abdo with blond curly hair pick us up at our hotel, he drove my mother and I down to Sofitel Beach. I was great from the for description in character. Once we arrived B.Othman picked out our wetsuits, which I was a bit surprise to learn that he had more or less picked out the correct sizes for both of us. He had a eye, I guess. We were please to see that there was an isolated changing area to change in comfort, as I wouldn't have wanted to change out in the open like some were happy to do. My mother and I did a bit of stretching just to loosen the joints and make the muscles a little supple and flexible, especially in the hips considering a lot movement would be in connection with hip mobility in the hip flexors. I don't know a great deal about surfing but I do know about training and things that give you a workout as I am a fitness trainer and before any type of workout, its important to raise the heart rate and stretch to prepare the body for what it's about to face. I've never surfed before and nor had my mother, however, I do share a love for sports and surfing was something that I had always wanted to do. It's a sport that I had payed attention to and followed over the years from time to time. I never really believed that I would be much good at it but I never let the thought put me off of giving it a try. B. Othman Gave some easy step by step clean instruction of how to go from laying on the board to stand. He breakdown the importance of foot and hand position on the board and maintain a strong balance and stability on the board when transitioning from laying position to standing position. I was quite fortunate to cross paths with a family of surfers on one of the excursions that I had went on a few days before hand. I was given a few trips on what to expect and was told that there was a lot of multi tasking to contend with and that it required a lot of patient. I was told that people don't make it up to standing the first time they surf and that it was normal. I feel the insight aided getting my mind in the right head space. I fell off the board as soon as I got to my knees and I remember hearing my mother saying " there's no way I could do that " after seeing me fall off. B. Othman was patient, friendly yet firm and got my mother onto the board even though she was a little resistant. She fell off but I think the biggest step was getting her on the board to start with. Practising on sand was one thing but then when it came to doing it in the water, I felt as though I must have been doing a terrible job and that the teaching that I was given must have goes through one ear and out the other. I just could get to standing at all. That was until I just let go of all thoughts and let the motion flow through me. I closed my eyes, steadied my breathing and both pictured and remembered B.Othman saying hands beside chest and pressing board away from body. Bring leading knee up towards your chest but planted on board for support, feed your other leg through hands stationed on the board keeping centred of the board. Rotate hip of leading leg out to support standing form and keep knees bended. Before I knew it I was half way there and then the next thing I knew, I was actually surfing a wave and not before long, my mother was too. We were so surprised as we didn't think that we would even make it to standing let alone actually surfing ! We did fell off a good few times but we made up for it in the end with the number of times that we caught waves and rode them which was plus 4 times. Sure we still have a long way to go but in learning and developing but we all have to start somewhere. I must admit that both my mother and I were tired the morning of our surf session and had thought of cancelling our session due to all the pervious days of excursion during our holiday stay. We are so glad that we didn't because the surfing topped everything off, it was a big achievement I am so overjoyed by our surfing experience and we have B.Othman to thank for that, he was/is an amazing teacher, to not just pull it out of one of us both my mother and I. We will cherish this memories forever. For anyone doubting their ability to surfing, get those thoughts out of your mind. My mother is in her 50's and she has a bad knee and a few issues with her hip due to injury and she was able to do. The only person that is holding you back is you. If you want to try surfing, look for B.Othman at Sofitel Beach as he is amazing. He makes you feel relaxed and comfortable and installs confidence within you. When I visit again, I'll be looking for him, I just hope that he'll be available for a past student as such as myself. If you're being collected from the hotel, be sure to look into travel means back as I had failed to do so. Luckily enough a member of staff that worked with B.Othman had got a cab for my mother and I to return back to the hotel. We were very appreciative of him for that, he was a very lovely guy as were all the staff."

"great lesson! super enjoyable - instructor was friendly and helpful, perfect for a beginner surfer!!"

"I had a great experience. The surf shop is one block from the beach and very easy to find. Everyone was very friendly. The instructor was very patient and helpful during the lesson, and made for a great first surf experience. Highly recommend."

"Nice staff. not easy to stand up for me but enjoyed this taste of surfing. would recommend to my friends."

"I liked it. The freedom of not sharing the trip with other people was priceless, because we go where I asked, and stayed as long as I wanted. When I got tired, I aske to go back, even though it was 30 minutes earlier. The boat driver was offering me different places to go, I had more than enough time to go where I want, snorkel where I want and as long as I wanted!"

"Nice driver, and boat crew. We enjoyed the parasailing, water ski the boat tour etc. All the people we interacted with were very professional"

"First timers and we had a great time with David as the instructor, we even went back the following day. Highly recommend."

"When in Essouira, surfing was one of those activities I wanted to experience. Momo was patient, showed me a few techniques and in no time I was standing (dare I say surfing) and catching some waves. I had fun and will definitely be back at again."

"We highly recommend this activity! This was our first time surfing and work Yassine was a great teacher. We had a great experiance!"

"I booked a lesson with Andrew at very short notice but he was happy to accommodate me. It was my first lesson ever and we had a two hour lesson, after which, I was able to confidently stand on the board and ride the waves all the way to the beach. A huge feet that I didn’t think I, being as clumsy as I am, was ever going to be able accomplish after only two hours. Andrew was very patient and extremely supportive the whole time making the times that I washed up like a beached whale on the shore feel like fun instead of a failed attempt."
