Question 16

Beachpole Camp Morocco 23/24

Accepted Answer

We want to start this new year of 2024 poling and surfing in a different country on the North of Africa, called Morocco! We chose the town of Taghazout to stay, surf and pole around, it´s very famous surf city.  The pole camp organizer has lived for many surf seasons in this area and used to drive 2000 km's alone from Portugal every year to work in this villages surfing spots taking photos of surfers and pro surfers that visited every season. She misses the surf, the food and the people! Carla knows the area very well even if it changed like crazy in the past 10y, a lot more tourism and new places to stay. She has friends in each city, because they used to see her as a wonder woman that took photos of all surfers and gave them for free and even helped to create a surf magazine in Morocco called Amouage. She learned from every experience and learned a bit of Arab to help out while she was there.
But the most challenging thing about this camp is that we aren´t allowed to beachpole and that nothing work´s as we expect it to work in Morocco, like prices aren´t the same each day and this is very hard to calculate! 
Expect a lot of pole outdoors, surfing, great food, culture and shopping! 
Let´s create pole moments together and follow the dream!
