  • At Santa Cruz Surf Maroc we endeavour to give all our students a first class surfing experience, however due to external factors we occasionally have to assess whether the conditions are suitable to run a surfing lesson.

  • The size of the waves will be judged by the Head coach and he will decide whether the size is suitable for a lesson, taking into account these factors: o Is the wave big enough to propel surf board forward?

  • Is the length of ride long enough to allow standing up.

  • Is the level of surfing to be taught suitable to operate a lesson (i.e? paddling practise for more advanced lessons) The body size of the surfer and group size can also affect this Extreme Weather Conditions (i.e. high winds, big seas)

  • In the situation of extreme weather condition, the Head coach will assess whether it is safe and practical to operate a lesson. He will address the following factors:

    • Are the lifeguards on duty and is the beach “red flagged”

    • Is the wind direction / swell size such to cause danger (i.e. off shore winds)

    • What is the experience of the clients (i.e. beginners or more advanced surfers?)

 

 Refund & Cancellation Policy (due to flat or extreme conditions)

  • In case of lesson cancellation due to adverse weather conditions or flat surf, we will offer the ability for our pre-paid customers to come back on an alternative day when weather conditions are suitable for a surf lesson. We will also offer alternative activities where possible.

  • If the customer is unable to change their surfing lesson to a different day / time we will offer Santa Cruz Surf Maroc voucher to the value of the surf lessons missed. This voucher is then valid for one year and can be used at any time.

  • If a cash alternative is required, then Santa Cruz Surf Maroc will only offer this when the lesson has been cancelled by the Head coach due to adverse or flat conditions. A cash refund will not be offered to customers who choose to cancel their lessons for other reasons – please refer to the Booking Terms and Conditions for further information
