The Coach

I coach the way I wish I had been coached.

I’m Ihab, a passionate surfer and surf coach based in Imsouane, Morocco.

Surfing has become a big part of my life, and I love sharing my passion with people from all around the world. I offer surf classes for beginners, intermediate and advanced surfers, with sessions adapted to each person’s level and goals.

My approach is simple: learn, improve, have fun and enjoy the ocean. I focus on helping every surfer to feel more confident in the water while discovering the amazing waves of Imsouane.

Whether it’s your first time on a surfboard or you want to take your surfing to the next level, I’ll be happy to surf with you.

Join me in Imsouane and let’s ride waves together!

“The secret isn´t surfing more. It´s noticing more.”

The Swell Method

Six things worth getting right.

This is not a traditional syllabus you graduate from. It is simply the order I look at technique, and the path most surfers follow to unlock progression. Whatever level you arrive at, we will pinpoint the exact layer that is holding you back from catching more waves and focus our work right there.

  1. Read

    Before touching the water, we observe: What is the ocean doing today? Where is the energy coming from, where is it breaking, and why? Spending time studying the waves from the sand saves you energy in the water. A surfer who reads the break will easily out-surf someone relying purely on fitness.

    GoalDescribe the session out loud before entering the water.

  2. Position

    Most missed waves are missed before the paddle starts. Line-up positioning, using markers on land, drifting with the current instead of fighting it, and knowing when to move rather than wait.

    GoalHold a position without being told where to sit.

  3. Paddle

    Prioritize efficiency over power. Board placement is everything: lying too far back prevents the board from skimming, while lying too far forward sinks the nose.

    GoalCatch waves without sprinting for them.
