SALTY GOATS by surf soul adventure
the SALTY GOATS surf camp belongs to the licensed surf company surf soul adventure, which is known for its awarded services and unique surfing holidays in tamraght, taghazout bay, agadir morocco.
in 2018 andrea and omar opened the doors to surf lovers from around the world. ever since then they have given guests the full surf experience, full of adventure and food for the soul – hence “surf soul adventure”. what make them happy the most is seeing guests screaming with joy when surfing the waves, and screaming of surprise when seeing the famous goats in the trees. which is why they have always called guests “ our lovely salty goats”: just like the goats are never too afraid to bravely climb up spiky argan trees to reach another delicious fruit, guests are never too tired to catch another wave, never too scared to smash their own limits!
when the pandemic hit, so many of their lovely guests reached out to andrea and omar and the whole team, letting them know how much they loved this surf home in morocco and how much they were already looking forward to come back after this most difficult period. that touched andrea and omar so much so that they promised with all their heart – inspired by their guests, and just like the goats – that they would not only survive this crisis, but thrive and make it an even better home for you! there was only one way forward for them and that was to put the name of their lovely guests on the door: SALTY GOATS!
so we could not be prouder that the surf camp is not only your home again, but now wears your name too: the SALTY GOATS surf house by surf soul adventure
