How Simo runs a surf camp
No fixed schedule on the wall. Each day follows the same rhythm — forecast, session, debrief — with the break chosen for the people on the sand that morning.
- Morning
Read the forecast overnight. On the sand, pick the break — Anza, Agadir Beach, or up the coast.
- Session
Coach in the water and on the beach between sets. Pop-ups, paddle position, wave choice — by name.
- Debrief
Short notes before lunch: what to repeat tomorrow, what to drop.
“Five guests is the ceiling. At ten I watch the horizon; at five I watch your feet.” Simo
Three rules on the sand
Pick the wave first
Decision drills on the sand before anyone paddles.
Stay on one break longer
Three days on the same peak beats five names in five days.
Say no to hero spots
When reef is too heavy, we move to sand — no exceptions.
What you take home
Beginners leave reading wind on the water, choosing waves before paddling, and trimming on small green faces at Anza or Agadir Beach. Intermediates leave with cleaner turns and a clear sense of which local breaks fit their level. Simo writes a one-page note on the last day — what worked, what to practice next.
