Where to Buy a Longboard or Surfboard in Morocco – What to Know Before You Shop

Morocco’s Atlantic coastline is a paradise for surfers — from the mellow point breaks of Imsouane to the consistent waves of Taghazout and Tamraght. Whether you’re a local rider or visiting on a surf trip, having your own board makes all the difference. But where can you actually buy a good longboard or surfboard in Morocco? Here’s everything you need to know before you shop.

1. Why Buy Your Board in Morocco

Buying a surfboard locally saves you time, money, and stress. You don’t have to pay airline fees or worry about board damage in transit. Local shops also know which boards work best for Moroccan waves — soft, peeling rights perfect for longboarding, or punchier beach breaks for shortboards. Plus, it’s easier to get advice, repairs, and accessories when you buy from surf communities like Taghazout, Tamraght, or Casablanca.

2. Best Places to Buy Surfboards and Longboards in Morocco

• La Crique Surf Shop (Bouznika)

• Extreme Sports Morocco (Online Store)
If you’re traveling along the coast and don’t have time to visit big cities, check out extreme-sports.ma. They sell surfboards and longboards online and deliver anywhere in Morocco. You can find boards starting around 7,000–8,000 MAD for quality epoxy longboards.

• Taghazout & Tamraght Local Surf Shops
In the surf villages of Taghazout and Tamraght, you’ll find smaller surf shops and shapers offering both new and used boards. Prices are often negotiable, and locals can help you find something suited to your style and level.

3. What to Check Before You Buy

Board type & size: Longboard (9’0”–9’6”) for smooth rides and easy paddling; shortboard for fast, steep waves.
Construction: Epoxy boards are lighter and stronger — great for travel.
Condition: If buying used, check for cracks, soft spots, or repairs.
Fin setup: Most Moroccan longboarders prefer single fins or 2+1 setups for control on long rights.
Transport: If you’re flying home with your board, check airline board bag policies in advance.

4. New vs Used Boards

Buying new means guaranteed quality and warranty support. But used boards are cheaper and easy to find in surf towns. Many visiting surfers sell their boards before leaving Morocco, so you can score great deals — just inspect them carefully before paying.

5. Benefits of Buying Locally

Local knowledge: Staff and shapers know what boards perform best on Moroccan waves.
Immediate use: No waiting for delivery or customs.
Repairs & support: Easy access to local ding repair and surf hardware.
Sustainability: Reduces carbon footprint compared to importing boards from abroad.
