Day 2: First day of surfing

After breakfast, you'll head down to the beach for your first introduction to surfing.

In the afternoon you'll enjoy a picnic lunch on the beach, and some relax time before paddling back onto the waves for some more surf to practice on your own. As the sun starts to set, you'll head back to your accommodation for a well-deserved shower.

In the evening you'll have the option to stretch out your muscles with a sunset yoga session, followed by either a home-cooked Moroccan dinner at the Riad or heading out to a local restaurant.
