Community Surf Program – Free Surf Lessons for Kids
At Medina Surfing, we believe in giving back. Through our surfing association and in partnership with a local non-profit, we offer free surf coaching to children from underprivileged backgrounds in the Rabat area.
More Than Just Surfing
This program is designed to create lasting impact through the power of surfing, teaching participants:
-
Surf technique and ocean safety
-
Environmental awareness and sustainable habits
-
Discipline, self-confidence, and strong community values
Eligibility:
This program is open to intermediate and advanced surfers under the age of 14.
(Please note: beginners are not eligible for this specific program.)
Learning Through Cultural Exchange
By interacting with our international guests, local kids are exposed to new languages and cultures, naturally improving their communication skills, gaining self-confidence, and expanding their worldview — all through shared experiences in the ocean.
Real Results, Real Impact
The program has already made a difference in the lives of many young surfers, helping them to:
-
Win regional and national surf competitions
-
Join the Moroccan national surf team
-
Follow in the footsteps of Abdel Elharim, competing internationally
Respect for the Ocean
We instill in each child a deep respect for the ocean and their environment, following a strong “leave no trace” philosophy. Participants are taught to care for their beaches and protect their surroundings for future generations.
This program is one of our proudest initiatives — using surfing as a tool for empowerment, education, and community connection.
