Meet Abdul
Founded by Abdul — a Moroccan athlete who grew up on these waves.
Hi, I'm Abdul
A 23-year-old water sports instructor from Morocco, based in the beautiful coastal city of Essaouira.
The ocean has been my second home
For as long as I can remember, I've been surrounded by wind, waves, and an incredible surf culture. I turned my passion into a profession — today I'm a Surf, Kitesurf and Windsurf Instructor, helping people from all over the world experience the same excitement that made me fall in love with the ocean.
No matter your age or experience level, my goal is simple: help you learn faster, feel confident, and most importantly — have fun while staying safe.
More than just another lesson
I started HabibiSurf Essaouira because I wanted to create a place where people feel welcome like friends, enjoy unforgettable moments, and leave with new skills, amazing memories, and a deeper connection with the ocean.
Habibi means my friend or my dear — and that's exactly how I want every guest to feel.
It's about the smile you take home
Teaching isn't only about catching waves. It's about helping someone overcome their fears, celebrate their first ride, laugh after falling into the water, and leave the beach with a smile they'll remember long after their holiday ends.
Whether you're here for surfing, kitesurfing or windsurfing, I'll guide you step by step with patience, positive energy and professional coaching — in a safe environment.
"Every wave is a new opportunity.
Every session is a new adventure."
Made to be remembered
Coaching in your language
I coach fluently across four languages so nothing gets lost between the sand and the lineup.
Days by the Atlantic

"Best surf instructor in Essaouira. Top equipment, warm vibes, real local knowledge of the spots."
"Booked a private lesson and progressed more in 2 hours than during a whole week elsewhere."
