Just got back from a three week stint in Morocco. Spent most of my time in Moulay Bouzerktoune, an awesome reef break with super consistent winds and swells this time of year... here's a small vid i made of my trip!

Hey Bowsa,

Good to hear you're enjoying the northern hemisphere. I'm off to moulay in 2 weeks for 10 days.

Hows the water temp - saw you in shorts so it can't be too bad.

Made it up to rhosneigr yet?

Martin

Bowsa,would this place be a better alternative than maui for waveriding,

is there only 1 break to sail or are others nearby anygood and can it handle a crowd,have read it gets crowded with poms and europeans?
Morocco would be cheap for cost of living i assume?cheers

martin - yeah its wicked! not as warm as it looks, i had a shortie wetsuit underneath... and havent been up to rhosneigr yet, but plan too at some point... made i to brandon bay last october though, and went to cape verde in february... and off to fuerte in a couple of weeks! enjoy moulay! are you staying with the guys at the bouj centre or fanatic centre?

about comparing it to maui, i cant comment as ive never been! but it doesnt get too busy, always space for a wave... especially when it gets logo to mast high, most europeans and poms wil stay out the water so its game on when conditions get really good!

Depends on what you are looking for?

Morocco
Pros:
- uncrowded
- cheap (relatively)
- rest of Morocoo is worth a look

Cons:
- wind can be a hit and miss
- cold water
- too far from Australia

Maui/ Hawaii:
Pros:
- warm water / warm air
- consistently windy
- multiple wave locations on offer
- very close to Australia (especially east coast)
- cheap (at the moment)
Cons:
- crowded (especially during holidays and product shoot time)
