A special postcard from Surfrider Foundation Maroc
We love collaborating with Surfrider Foundation, and were flattered by this special note...
At Surf Maroc, we believe in doing good and being good. And that’s what we do every day to help protect and develop our environment and community. We are making strides to make all of our locations sustainable, to support our local community, and to encourage others to do good and be good too.
Actions speak louder than words. And when it comes to helping the environment and community, it’s the small actions that make a big difference. From funding beach cleans and eliminating plastics to supporting local charities and community projects, it’s these small things Surf Maroc do that make a great impact.
Coming to Surf Maroc, you become part of our community. And we love when our guests get involved with All The Good Things we do. That can be as simple as using our Beach Clean Up Kits, coming to our charity Yoga classes, or using our filtered fountains. Every good deed means together we can spread the good word and make a difference.
Check out our recent news on All The Good Things that has happened recently at Surf Maroc!

In Agadir, we have a local Government run orphanage that does wonderful work to look after orphan children. Although this special place doesn’t have a charity to donate to, we regularly visit and donate nappies, formula, clothes and toys to the children to help this little place out. Any money raised in aid of the Agadir Children’s Orphanage will go towards any items they need to help support every child they’re caring for.
