THE SURF COACHING

Famously said by Phil Edwards, “The best surfer out there is the one having the most fun.” We don’t disagree, because we ourselves wouldn’t be surfing if there wasn’t some sort of fun in it. But we also believe that the best surfer out there is the one that’s the most adaptable.

When surfing out in the ocean, no two surf sessions are ever the same. Taghazout Bay and the extended Moroccan coastline boasts Beach, Reef, and Point breaks that provide excellent opportunities for surfers of all levels to expand their ocean knowledge. This knowledge and wisdom can then be applied to any future surf sessions and the progression to confident, independent surfing.

Prior to each paddle out, some time will be dedicated to review what you are working on as you have discussed with your Surf Coach: whether it’s learning about a new break or trying to break a bad habit. We’re firm believers that the more you practice on land the better you’ll be in the water.

During your surf session, your Surf Coach will be there by your side every step of the way. The feedback you’ll receive will be there when you need it.

On this Surf Fitness Retreat a photographer will be on hand to capture videos and photos of your surf sessions. Every night the Surf Coaches will review your footage with you. With video and photo analysis, the ability to watch and review yourself is one of the tools that can have the biggest impact on your progression as a surfer.

THE FITNESS COACHING

At Yozi Fitness and Performance, fitness isn’t a fad and sport performance can’t be faked. Instead, exercise and fitness is a lifestyle intended for the longevity for all of Yozi’s clients. Whether it’s to enjoy day to day life tasks, be pain free, or be able to pursue sporting interests for the rest of your life.

Having been a professional athlete himself, Yozi understands the importance of supplemental training to improve performance and confidence in your chosen sport. Having worked with many surfers in Taghazout Bay over the years, Yozi has come to understand what many surfers struggle with and continues to develop individual training plans for each of his clients.

No two training sessions with Yozi are ever the same, as clients work through mobility, strength, and conditioning specific to their needs. Part of Yozi’s philosophy is that there’s no point in performing an exercise if it isn’t done correctly, so special attention is always paid to form during training sessions. So there will be no big group classes, even during our Moroccan Surf Fitness Retreat.

Every training session will be carefully programmed for each day of the week, focusing on a different aspect of fitness and complimenting the surf sessions of the day. Touching briefly on each aspect of fitness in the context of surfing is aimed at sparking curiosity to learn more about fitness, to inspire a healthy lifestyle, and reach your surfing goals

At the end of the day, we aren’t a boot camp and you’re free to skip a training session as you see fit. After all, you know your body best and rest is a key component to training.
