About us
Meet Cactus Surf Experience
A local surf camp team in Imsouane sharing honest coaching, warm Moroccan hospitality, ocean-view living, and the everyday rhythm of the bay.
The Cactus way
A surf house run with local heart
Cactus Surf Experience is built around the people who make a surf trip feel easy: local hosts, patient surf coaches, kitchen hands, drivers, guides, and friends from Imsouane who know the village by tide, wind, and season.
Our team keeps the camp personal. We learn your surf level, help you choose the right board, plan days around the best conditions, and make sure there is always time for long breakfasts, rooftop sunsets, shared dinners, and quiet rest after the ocean.
Our story
Three friends, one shared wave
Cactus Surf Experience began with three local friends from Imsouane who grew up between the Atlantic swell and their Amazigh roots. They shared one simple passion: surfing the long, peeling waves of Magic Bay and living the Amazigh (Berber) culture of their village — the food, the language, the hospitality, and the slow coastal rhythm.
For years they surfed together and welcomed travelers into their home, and that quiet habit grew into a surf house built to share both worlds. Today the three founders still run the camp side by side, so guests do not just catch waves — they get a real taste of Amazigh life in Imsouane.
