Super recommended experience! Pauline's treatment is exquisite and she is always ready for whatever you need. Abdul immediately detected what improvements he could make in my surfing and on the second day we were already catching green waves! Thank you for making me feel at home!

"I had the best week at Holy surf! Pauline and Houssam are so welcoming and friendly. I travelled alone but made friends straight away. Houssam as a surf instructor is fantastic. He is really fun and makes sure everyone is having a good time while learning to surf! Also Sidi Kaouki is a charming little village by the ocean, loved it. You have to go!"
