ABOUT · STORY · TEAM
Born by the Atlantic. Built a surf camp out of love for the sport. Still surfs every single day.
Zeri grew up spending summers swimming alone at the beach near home. One day, under a black flag warning, he saw something that would change his life: a few people walking into the water with surfboards.
He asked the lifeguard why they were allowed in when nobody else was. The answer was one word: “They’re surfers.” From that moment, he was hooked.
He joined a local surf association, got his first shortboard, and caught his first wave in 2006 in the powerful waves of Tantan Beach. Surfing in Morocco wasn’t common back then. The same lifeguard who once yelled at him later became one of his closest surf buddies.
Surfing has been part of his life ever since · and it all started with that one word.
The story of Zeri Surf Camp began in 2006, on the Moroccan coast of Aglou · long before surfing became popular in Morocco. It was there that Zeri fell in love with the surf lifestyle. Surfing wasn’t just a sport · it was the path to the life he had always dreamed of.
He started small, offering surf experiences in his hometown, and soon realised something bigger was calling: Taghazout, the heart of Moroccan surf culture.
The dream of a surf camp really took shape when Zeri met Jaime, a Spanish traveller in search of new waves and deeper meaning. The connection was instant · a friendship built on the ocean and a shared vision.
Together, they decided to create something different: not just another surf camp in Taghazout, but a soulful Moroccan surf retreat where health, focus and community come first. That’s how Zeri Surf Camp Morocco was born.
“For us, this is more than a project. It’s our life, our vocation, our dream.”

If the swell's gone north, we go north. If the wind's coming up at 11, we surf at 9. We work for the ocean, not the schedule.
Rooted in the village above Taghazout. Fish from the harbour, bread from the bakery 200m away, rugs from the souk down the road.
Small groups in the water. You get more waves, more attention, more progress per session. That's it, no secret.
We share waves. We pick up trash. We don't drop in. We say hi to the local surfers · they're our friends. We expect the same from our guests.
