Renting a surfboard in Taghazout is easy — there are enough surf shops on the main street that you have options, and the competition keeps prices relatively honest. What varies is quality. The difference between a shop with well-maintained boards and one that’s been renting out the same thrashed foamies for three seasons is significant.

Surfboard Rental in Taghazout

Several surf shops on the main street and near Hash Point offer daily and weekly board hire.

What’s typically available:

  • Foamies/softboards (longboard size) — for beginners and surf school use
  • Mid-length boards (7–8ft) — good all-around option for intermediate surfers
  • Shortboards (5’8”–6’6”) — less commonly rented, quality varies
  • Longboards — available at some shops

Pricing (approximate):

  • Daily hire: 100–150 MAD for a softboard, 120–180 MAD for a hard board (confirmed accurate for 2025; premium shops charge up to 150–200 MAD for quality hard boards)
  • Weekly hire: usually available at a discount — typically 5–6 days for the price of 4–5

Rasta Surf Shop: The local favourite. Softboards from 60 MAD/day, wetsuits from 20 MAD/day, free board swaps if conditions change. Large selection: foamies, longboards, high-performance shortboards. Well-reviewed for board quality and fair pricing. Located in the village.

Single Fin: Waterfront spot directly next to Hash Point. Owned and run by knowledgeable locals. Quick grab-and-go before paddling out. Board and wetsuit hire, surf lessons also available. Part of the Single Fin surf house and beachfront restaurant.

Habo Surf Shop: Popular for both hire and lessons. Softboards, hard boards, wetsuits, rashvests. 2-hour beginner lesson + board 250 MAD (€25). Friendly staff. habosurf.com.

Anchor Point Surf Shop: Another well-reviewed option on the village main street. Good for on-the-day hire without advance booking.

Wetsuit Hire

Available at the same shops as boards. Wetsuits are useful October–April when water temperature drops to 15–18°C.

  • 3/2mm wetsuit hire: approximately 50–80 MAD/day (confirmed accurate for 2025)
  • Quality varies — check for tears in the seams and neoprene thickness before accepting

If you’re staying more than a week and surfing daily, buying a second-hand wetsuit in Agadir is often better value than daily hire.

Surfboard Rental in Tamraght

Yes — Tamraght has its own board hire options. Merroqui Surf Shop is the main hire option, located on the main road directly opposite Devil’s Rock. Run by Marouan, who is well-reviewed for his knowledge of local surf conditions and breaks. Wide selection of boards and wetsuits. Also offers surf lessons and guiding. Smiley Surf Shop in Tamraght bay is another option. Tamraght-based surfers don’t need to go to Taghazout for rental.

Approximate daily price: 100–150 MAD for a softboard (confirmed accurate).

Tips for Renting

  • Check the board before accepting: Run your hands over the rails and check for soft spots, dings that have let in water, or badly patched repairs. A waterlogged board is heavy and unpleasant.
  • Leash: Make sure one is included. A good leash is important — check the string and cord aren’t frayed.
  • Fins: Check they’re tight. Loose fins make a board unresponsive.
  • Daily vs weekly: For stays of 5+ days, always ask for a weekly rate — most shops will negotiate.
  • Return condition: You’ll be asked to pay for significant damage. Minor dings are usually accepted as normal wear.

Bringing Your Own Board

If you’re flying and bringing your board, factor in:

  • Most airlines charge a surfboard bag fee — check your airline’s policy before booking
  • Soft board bags protect better and are lighter than hard cases
  • The Souk to Surf shuttle accommodates boards; grand taxis less consistently so

FAQ

How much does it cost to rent a surfboard in Taghazout?

Approximately 100–150 MAD per day for a softboard (Rasta Surf Shop from 60 MAD/day), slightly more for a hard board (up to 150–200 MAD at premium shops). Weekly rates available at a discount.

Can I rent a specific board type in Taghazout?

Foamies and mid-lengths are consistently available. Shortboards and longboards depend on the shop — call ahead if you need something specific for a day trip to Anchor Point.

Is it better to buy or rent for a long stay?

For stays of 3+ weeks, buying a second-hand board in Agadir and selling it before you leave is often cheaper than daily hire. The Agadir surf shops sometimes have second-hand stock, and Facebook groups for Morocco surf communities often have boards for sale.
