/ Secret Spots
The kingdom of Morocco has a beautiful culture and a rich history. And with local guide, Azhar Joundi, it also has a huge variety of secret world-class surf spots to offer. “With a 4x4 and a little walk we will reach spots where hardly anybody goes,” says Azhar. “We have the choice of many reefs, points, slabs and outer reefs that have only been surfed by a handful of people.
