The experience was great; the coach is very skilled and approachable. The name of the coach is Mohammed Lidri
Top-notch experience, really accessible and professional instructor. I highly recommend it.
We (mother and daughter) booked 4 days of surfing lessons in a small group. Maximum group size was 4, but two of the four days there were no other students and so we had semi-private lessons. When you enter the store you immediately notice that the team led by Youssef works together with great pleasure and care. Mohammed was a nice and calm coach, his explanations and feedback were clear and valuable and he took into account differences in learning pace. We really made progress in those four days and had a lot of fun. The material was excellent. Highly recommended!
We're so glad to hear that you and your daughter had such a positive experience during your 4-day surf course. It's great that you got to enjoy semi-private lessons on two of the days—what a bonus ! Youssef and the entire team truly love what they do, and it means a lot to hear that their care and teamwork stood out to you from the moment you walked in. Mohammed will be thrilled to know that his calm coaching style, clear feedback, and attention to different learning paces made a difference for you both. It's fantastic that you made real progress and had so much fun along the way. Thank you for recommending us so highly ! We'd love to welcome you back anytime for more waves and good times.
We were recommended this by our Airbnb host as beginners in surfing and it was one of the highlights of our trip. It was a 2 hour session. Our instructor Mohammad was a great teacher, adjusting his feedback to each person in our group (there were 6 of us!). They provided us with everything we needed, wetsuits, board, lockers and shower facilities. We had such a great time we came back 3 times!! The owner went above and beyond by returning some items we left behind on the last day as our flight was the next morning. Bleuryde is a 5 star experience! We gained a new skill, and had fun whilst doing it.
Thanks so much ! Mohammad loved teaching your group, and we're thrilled you came back three times. So glad we could help with your forgotten items too, hope to see you again !
It was a fun experience, our guide was also very helpfull
Great to hear ! A helpful guide + fun waves = the perfect combo. Thanks for sharing !
Top-notch team, I recommend 1000%
Merci infiniment ! Ça fait chaud au cœur. On espère vous revoir bientôt pour de nouvelles vagues !
Very fun and enjoyable experience. The coach is very attentive and gives excellent advice. I went from "never touched a board" to "able to stand up and turn on the waves" in 2 hours. Moreover, the staff is so kind and funny. I recommend it 100%
Merci infiniment ! On est ravis que l'expérience ait été aussi fun et que vous ayez fait des progrès incroyables en seulement 2H — bravo à vous ! Le coaching à l'écoute et les bons conseils, ça fait toute la différence. Et merci pour le clin d’œil à notre staff toujours de bonne humeur. On espère vous revoir très vite sur l’eau à Essaouira.
Great experience for a beginner. Excellent instructor!
Merci beaucoup ! On est ravis que votre première expérience chez nous ait été aussi bonne. Un grand merci pour notre moniteur, qui sera très heureux de lire votre message. Au plaisir de vous voir progresser encore davantage lors d'une prochaine session chez Bleuryde !
Everything was perfect, our instructor (Mohamed) was really very kind, he explained very well and truly helped everyone, adapting to all levels, Also very cheerful, it was simply perfect! We will return with great pleasure! Thank you to the entire team🙂
Un tout grand merci pour votre magnifique retour ! Nous sommes ravis que l’expérience ait été parfaite à vos yeux. Votre message fait chaud au cœur, surtout les compliments pour Mohamed : sa gentillesse, sa pédagogie et sa bonne humeur sont effectivement des qualités que nous lui reconnaissons tous au sein de l’équipe. Nous serons heureux de vous accueillir à nouveau lors d’une prochaine sortie. À très vite avec grand plaisir également !
Absolutely incredible! We had a private lesson and our instructor was really good. He paid careful attention to every movement and I managed to stand up and a catch a wave as a complete novice after just one lesson.
Thank you so much for your incredible feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a great experience with your private lesson. It's wonderful that you were able to stand up and catch a wave as a complete beginner after just one session – that's a fantastic achievement! Our instructors always strive to provide careful, personalized attention to every student, so we're delighted that it made a real difference for you. We hope to see you again soon for more progress and, most importantly, more fun on the water! Thanks again for your kind words
