Pebble Heads - The locals surf like donkeys. Seriously. I think they have a similar mental capacity as well.

surfer - Don't know what the fuss is all about! Look around the area everyone, wind generators! What does that mean? Lots of wind. The place isn't worth it! The locals are hard as hell for a place that is average at best when it is on. To much wind and a funny swell direction. Loads more surf options down south without the wind and cleaner water. Am not trying to put you off, go try it for your self, I did and sat for 4 weeks in prime season without any so called "world class waves." The place is overrated...

Please be cool, smile & behave - Please stop it!
If you still want to surf in quiet places with cool atmosphere & no pbs. with the locals, stop posting pictures & maps of places like this one. It's the country side there, this place has been kept quite for years, local people (not surfers) there have no academic education & live only from fishing, they used to be sweet & welcoming, today we are noticing more & more rips & violence. We, as Moroccan surfers, are trying to preserve places like this one from mass tourism. These kind of posts will push us to talk/ act tough toward some stupid foreigners who respect nothing & not even there hosts. Please behave... PS: Ian Walsh, don't ever come back surf in our country if your're looking for fights, you might never surf again... (sincerely sorry for the cool people who are reading this shitty message i'm posting, but this guy is exactly the kind of person you don't wanna meet here or there, sorry again)
