Big swell arrives at Anchor Point


It's the reason people dream about surfing Morocco - when the big winter swells arrive, the waves at the world-famous Anchor Point are pumping, and Surf Star Morocco were in the front row this week to enjoy the action.



Locals, visitors, pros, drop-ins and kooks alike were out in force, with consistent double-overhead+ sets being the stage to some high energy performance surfing, and the best-of-the-rest keeping busy on the inside sections picking up the unridden strays. 



Positioned as close to the action as dry feet would allow, our surf camp guests hung out on the point with the camera crews to enjoy the excitement and atmosphere, and witness a great display of advanced surfing. Spotted in the line-up at Anchor Point were our very own Surf Star instructors jostling out the back for the bombs and barrels. 



After an inspiring sunset session, a local happened to casually mention that when Anchor Point's fully-firing, "the wave size can be double (this evening)"…. now that's gotta be something worth booking your flight to Morocco for right? We'll see you out here!

Surfer Girls rip it up with Dutch Invasion


Surf Star Morocco's surf school recently had the pleasure of hosting the first Chicky Clinics surf holiday in Morocco. When a bus-load of high energy, gorgeous Dutch girls rocked up for a week of surf camp Morocco, we knew there was going to be a great time ahead.

With a full program of daily wave hunting, surf lessons, yoga retreat - and even squeezing in a trip to the stunning Paradise Valley tucked away in the Atlas Mountains - the girls had a full scale action-packed Moroccan surf adventure! The Surf Star Morocco crew were stoked to see how much everyone's surfing improved throughout the week - from having complete beginners out the back at Devil's Rock beach break, to paddling into the line-up at Killer Point with the intermediate surf chicks. 

Special thanks to Nikita, Oxbow and Vans for sponsoring the Chicky Clinic, and bringing their amazing energy and spirit into the surf at Morocco. We're over-frothing at this amazing video Chicky Clinics filmed during their visit - we can't wait to see all you ladies here again next year for more surf camp action - Morocco style! (Contact Surf Star Morocco or Chicky Clinics to make sure your place is reserved for the next trip) Hope you all enjoy watching this as much as we enjoyed the experience of capturing it….
