true or false - I checked on the web before going there. I saw so many positive stuff that I didn't beleive the negative posts in that forum. I'm just finishing my trip with Surfland and I can tell you : this place is incredible, and the Surfland logistic is just, perfect! everybody can surf with Surfland, from 3 y.o to 80! also dogs (crazy Chico...and Laurent. Check on youtube Chico+surf+oualidia). No crowd, no ego people, no stress,.... just fun and good vibes.
Thanks so much, I'll be back asap
Don't listen negative people... and check on the web, Surfland does a lot of good things (but they dont want a website!!!)

Surfland and Miramon - How can I forget this dude.Back in the 90's i took a trip with some friends down the coast and we arrived at dawn patrol in Oualidia.We were getting ready to paddle out when 2 dudes approched us and told us that it was a private beach.I asked them politely to leave knowing that they were bullying us.They left only to come back quickly with this French guy claiming that we must be part of his surfclub to be able to paddle out.I could have called the authorities but decided to take my friends to Les tomates for some epic surf.Sorry but beware of this guy.

beginners first - When i arrived there me and my friend were promised that there will be a lot of surfers and there will be barbecue you know usual surfer stuff, but there were just children from 10 years old, we wanted to go to plage tomate were the real action but we went just 2 times in 2 weeks time the rest of the days we surfed in a stupid lagoon on longboards. The only possitive point is that the locals are really nice but laurent has a tooo big ego
