About
OUR STORY
Born from passion, driven by the wind, united by the waves
Epic riders + epic conditions = epic event
Wave Classic Moulay Bouzerktoune was born from the passion of a few people fascinated about this incredible place and its people.
It has been more than 30 years since a few people ventured into this area in search of the best waves, letting themselves be carried away by the trade winds until they found this spot on the coast.
Originally one of the first events to be held at this spot was the Trilogy, an event like no other, with incredible riders looking for the best spots in the world. Cherry on the cake was 2018 final with a win of Antoine Martin over Boujmaa and Morgan in the over mast high waves.
As the years went by and no other events came to fruition in the spot, a small group of us decided to put our hands to make the first event in 2023, being a total success and recovering the spirit of the purest windsurfing.
Our entire organisation is made up of people who are not looking for any kind of profit from this event. We are proud to say that this event is not for profit.
