Moulay 03 & 10 May 2025

Run By : Jem Hall Windsurf Clinics

The 2025 Sportif clinic to the windsurfing wave sailing venue of Moulay, Morocco is back in Morocco in May.

"Moulay is perfect for wave sailing. Consistent cross-shore winds combined with a healthy dose of Atlantic swell make this unassuming, laid-back village a must-visit destination for all you wave-heads out there," says Jem Hall.


Clinic Content
This clinic will cover all aspects of wave sailing for advanced windsurfers. It will get you jumping better, getting you in, getting you out and riding the right wave in the right way as your turns receive the full tune-up. For the more adventurous, there's coaching for forward and backward loops, push-loops plus advanced wave riding skills such as better bottom and top turns, smacking lips and aerials and wave theory such as wave selection and positioning. This clinic will push your wave sailing to new levels and improve your style!

Course Level
Advanced Only
To get the best out of this clinic, participants will need to be sailing in the foot straps or as near as, be making some water starts and looking to carve gybe. All moves can be worked on for the advanced riders. Jem advises "You should be comfortable in high winds and waves. It helps to have a solid gybe and tack to get you out of tight spots on the inside or to catch the wave you want on a sometimes crowded peak."

 

The Conditions
Moulay is a serious wave sailing destination and an amazing location for a wave clinic. This clinic is timed to have the best chance for strong winds and good swell. Expect big jumps and big waves, not helicopter tacks and gybing practice. 2010 was Jem's inaugural clinic to Moulay and this is now one of his fastest booking wave coaching weeks and the majority of people both pre book and confirm very early.
 

Here are Jems 's review on the facilities and tips for travel to Moulay:

Clinic Accommodation, Moulay
This clinic will be housed in shared rooms with Breakfast at the Centre cafe.. Breakfast and evening meal will be local style – good wholesome food such as tajines, cous cous or fish bbqs. The group normally takes lunch each day at the windsurf centre. The spot has amazing panaromamic views from outside the sitting - lounging area. It's based in Moulay to be close to the main wave sailing area. Moulay itself has very limited facilities and is laid back, chilled out village. Essaouira, is around 20 minutes away by taxi, offers a wide choice of restaurants, cafes and old medina town is worth exploring.
