How a week at Ider runs

This is the timetable for a surf day and a surf week, and what costs extra.

A surf day

The timetable for Learn to Surf and Intermediate Surf.

• 08:00 Breakfast.
• 09:00 Spot briefing. Your coach covers the wave, the current, where to paddle out and come in, and one goal for the session.
• 09:30-11:30 Coached session at the beach your coach picked for your level.
• 12:30 Lunch at the spot.
• 13:30-15:30 Supervised second session on the same goal, or rest in the shade.
• 17:30 Yoga on the terrace, 75 minutes. Optional, €12.
• 20:00 Dinner, then tomorrow's plan. On filmed days you watch your clips with your coach.

Times follow the tide and can move by up to 2 hours. We confirm the next day's plan at dinner.

On Surf Guiding weeks the guide sends the plan the evening before. You surf two sessions a day, often at two different breaks, and some days start at sunrise.

A small local kitchen team cooks Moroccan and Mediterranean food with what's in season. Breakfast is eggs, bread, fruit and mint tea. Dinner changes daily: tagine, grilled fish, vegetable stews.

• Vegetarian. Most dishes already are.
• Vegan and gluten-free. Easy with notice.

House rules

• Be at the van on time. Sessions follow the tide, so the van can't wait.
• In the water, your coach decides. If they say a spot is too big for you, you stay on the beach.
• Quiet at night. Most of the house gets up early to surf.
• Changes at dinner. Want to skip a session, switch group or join the hike? Tell us at dinner the evening before.
