OUR STORY

We are Mehdi and Ismail, brothers and locals of Imsouane. We started surfing here in 1998 when the waters where empty and sitting in the line up meant sharing waves with only our family and a neighbor. We grew up surfing in this place, that’s the spirit of this village : Surf, the ocean, living in nature and of course the fishermen. We have been riding boards since we were four, in fact it feels like becoming a surfer is someone you’re meant to be when you are born around here. To be part of this amazing surf community since the early days, makes us feel really grateful to have our roots here. So yeah, this is us, two brothers living a surfing life!

Today, we are surf instructors, young entrepreneurs, and ambitious individuals. In 2012, we created our surf school with just a few boards and wetsuits. However, in January 2024, devastating news came from the local authorities, announcing the destruction of our beloved village of Imsouane and our surf school building. It was the saddest news we’d ever heard.

We suddenly had no place to welcome our trainers, but we didn’t let that stop us from believing in and pursuing our dream. After a year of hard work, we have now built our new surf camp in Imsouane, where we can host our trainers, share our passion, and do what we love.

IMSOUANE SURF SCHOOL

SURF LESSONS

At our surf camp in Imsouane, we don’t only offer accommodation packages but also provide surf lessons for individuals who are not staying with us. Each day, we conduct surf lessons for beginners and intermediate surfers. The lessons are offered in three languages: English, French, and Arabic.
Our mission is to teach you the art of surfing by guiding you through the process of catching and riding waves.

YOGA

Through mindful Yoga practices guided by our experienced teachers we’re making sure to offer you a safe space to tune into your body, give your mind a break, and find what feels good. No matter which road brought you to Imsouane, this practice allows you to find moments of calm and rest to regulate your nervous system. On our yoga rooftop we find gentle but highly restorative movements, which are perfect to bring your body into harmony and work efficiently to balance out a surfers body. Because all our bodies are different and unique, our classes are intentionally created to welcome everyone who wants to flow no matter the experience you bring to the mat.

    SURF CAMP FOUNDERS

    TEAM

    Mehdi Bairou

    A true imsouane local, co-owner of Local Surf Camp and a familiar face in the Moroccan surf community. In the last 26 years Mehdi spent probably more time in the ocean than anywhere else, making him a pro on all kinds of boards. As a 14-year old you could already spot him in the waves giving surf classes on his own. His deep love for the ocean and surf made him realize his childhood dream of owning his own surf school. After finishing school he proceeded to do exactly that. His school was one of the first ones, located in the heart of Imsouane and was running up until recently when the village was faced by the demolition. His knowledge in the water as well as his fun and openminded personality is well respected and appreciated by fellow surfers and students. Mehdi is certified by various surf associations such as ISA and FRMS (Federacion Royale Maroccaine Surf). He knows his hometown spots like no other and mastered the art of wave reading, which you can experience first hand in one of his classes.
    Now the time has come for him to share this new project with you and he is excited to see what Local Surf Camp and the future are bringing his way.

    Ismail Bairou

    My name is Ismail Bairou. I come from Imsouane and Essaouira. I grew up by the sea, nurturing a profound passion for water sports. I began practicing them at a young age and made the decision to transform my passion into my career. In 2023, I created Mystery Surf Camp by transforming a family house in Imsouane into a surf camp. Since then, I have enjoyed every day meeting people from around the world, engaging in enriching discussions about life, surfing, and travel, and ensuring everyone has a great time. I thoroughly enjoy sharing my experience with others. As a certified IKO instructor, I ensure that my training sessions are professional, safe, and designed to facilitate efficient and rapid learning, all while ensuring a highly enjoyable experience.Now the time has come for him to share this new project with you and he is excited to see what Local Surf Camp and the future are bringing his way.

    I MSOUANE

    SURF  CULTURE – GOOD VIBES

    Imsouane is the kind of place where time slows down so much, even the waves seem to wait for you to paddle out! It’s a village where the biggest decision of the day is whether to catch the next wave or grab another cup of mint tea and honestly, both are equally life-changing! You’ll be so relaxed by the end of your stay, your only worry will be how to convince your boss that surfing is a perfectly valid reason for an extended vacation!
