buying surfboards?
Hi, I will be in Taghazout for 3 weeks in January, how easy is it to purchase a board on arrival? I will be backpacking through non-surfing countries in europe for 2 months prior and dont want to have a board with me for that period.
Thanks

Just came back from a amazing trip in Morocco. Country is beautifull and full of hustlers. The mountains around Marrakech are very beautifull and you can even surf the snow in the winter and early spring in a place called Oukaimeden (take cash, no atm overthere).
The south of Essaouira is beautifull and Essaouira itself is fun of a short stay. Between Essaouira and Agadir is an amazing scenic coastline. Combination of reef, beach breaks and sand bars. Chill out in small and fishersmen villages with just locals and surfs.... without the lack of alcohol nightlife doesn't realy excists in outside the mayor cities.
Was looking forward to Taghazout, but the place (not the surf) was really really really messed up. The main road was full of glue sniffers (we asked some local waiters), a thing we only saw in Taghazout. When high on glue people look like zombies... for real, this gives the place a very messed up atmosphere, like you want to get the hell out of there. If you JUST care about the surf Taghazout is the place, with a lot of different breaks around for everybody. If you expect a bit more from your trip besides surfing head up north for much more scenic spots and goooood waves aswell.....
PS. Agadir is tourist trap full of retired Germans and no real surf overthere, seriously head up north towards Essaouira....
