I had experienced surfing in different countries but surfing with Rachid is a unique experience.
In almost one week, I could improve my surf techniques and adapt it to the weather and the waves with the help of Rachid. He supported me in each step: paddling, take-off, steering the board, having the correct posture: In few words acquiring the amazing surf style!
At the same time we had a lot fun in the water and shared nice time afte surfing.
Julie is very friendly and always there to take some unforgettable pictures, surf with us and share funny moments with the best service ever.
Looking forward to return back to Essaouira and ride the waves again with Rachid and Julie!

We had a wonderful week with Rashid & Julie, they both a very kind and caring and it was fun to be with them. We booked semi-private kitesurf lessons with the challenge that we are one beginner and one experienced. They organized it very well and both of us had a great time of learning and enjoying the kitesurfing days. A big focus for Rashid is safety, we always felt in good hands. Planning was day by day according to the wind. As it is a small surf-school the athmosphere is very familiar, we liked that a lot. Renting equipment was very good quality. There is no more to say than SHUKRAN Rashid&Julie for making our stay a great lifetime memory, we would always book again with you and hope to surf with you again one day!

I stayed 5 days with Julie and Rachid, and also joined them while they were also having lessons and surf trips 🏄♀️
I could easily see the great team work between Julie and Rachid, they really take care of their customers! At this school you will have the owners who personally take care of you and are responsible before, during and after the lessons. No elements are outsourced to other people, which keeps the standards high. Rachid is a serious certified instructor and will not let you down. Julie manage all business elements, while talking your pictures and answer all your questions 🙌
The lessons was from surf beginners to more experienced ones. When the lesson was over, they came back on the beach with a big smile on their face. Ocean Surfpoint is a place who offers so much more then the lesson. It’s high quality, fun, friendly environment, respect and good communication from the beginning and beyond.
Highly recommend Ocean Surfpoint if you are going to Essaouira and want to surf or Kite - these people know the places and are so nice to hang around with😍

Me and my friends had sand surfing with them. It was really fun! Rachid and Julie are very hands on and they even went the extra mile to accompany us to the best seafood grill in the area for a late lunch. And don’t worry about those instagram photos, Julie got your back. Thank you guys! See again somewhere in the world 🤙🏼

What an amazing time we had on our sand boarding tour. Julie and Rachid picked us up and made sure the process of getting there was smooth and seamless. When we got out to the dune, they made sure and showed us the techniques to follow to stay safe. It is definitely an event that was amazing for us as a 30 year old couple and I know it would also be fantastic for families too. Our favorite part was actually the great conversation we had with both Julie and Rachid as the sun went down. By the time we left we really felt we had made some great new friends as they are two of the most likable people ever. After we got home, Julie even took the time to send us a plethora of great local spots to eat and see which defined much of our trip in the best possible way. If you are reading this and wondering whether you should book this tour, then book it and do so with complete confidence. It will be a highlight of your trip.

We booked sand surfing with Rachid and he managed to fit us in at the last minute which was great, plus there were no other participants so it was like a private session! Rachid was very passionate and motivating as well as friendly and smiley. The dunes were a bit disappointing as they were not what we expected but still did the job which was good. Overall a good experience but slightly expensive.

We were happy you enjoyed the day with Rachid. Unfortunately, the constant wind in Essaouira, is changing the dunes every day. We are striving and adapting to take you to the best spot of the day.
Thanks for your honest review.

We spent 2 days with Rachid and Julie. Rachid was a great instructor on both sand surfing and regular surfing. We had an absolute blast and cant wait to surf again! He really takes the time to lay down the fundamentals before hitting the waves. Would highly recommend to anyone coming to Essaouira. Julie was a great photographer too.

Definitely one for the books!
We had a 2hr sand surfing lesson with them and got to the venue via quad bike. The instructor, Rachid had impressively great teaching skills and made the activity less intimidating for us first timers. With Julie hand-in-hand, made the experience personal and memorable for us all.
They even went above and beyond to show us a great spot to eat local fresh seafood. Highly recommend and couldn't have chosen a better guide and instructor.
