Coach tips for tuo session

1. Best ventoow: Prefer mattina sessions. Wind is usually light, water glassy, and peaks better shaped. Read best time to surf Essaouira.
2. Gear: A 3/2 mm muta in spring/summer or 4/3 mm in autumn/winter keeps you warm for a full 2-hour session. Rent via surf rental in Essaouira if you only need kit.
3. Mineral sunscreen: Moroccan sun reflects hard off the water—apply high-protection / mineral stick on tuo face before paddling out.
