X-RAYS IN MOROCCO

A surf trip to Morocco, an unexpected ankle injury, and a swell I wasn't ready to give up on.

Returning to Morocco is always something special. From reconnecting with old friends and experiencing the incredible hospitality of the Moroccan people to representing Janga Wetsuits at the 2026 Taghazout Surf Expo, this trip was already one to remember.

With a solid Atlantic swell approaching, I decided to extend my stay and chase waves along Morocco's beautiful coastline.

But things didn't quite go according to plan.

Just days before the swell arrived, a surfing accident left me with a painful ankle injury, barely able to walk, let alone surf.

What followed became much more than a surf trip.

From the local communities of Anza and Tifnit to the mountains and remote desert coastline, Morocco reminded me that sometimes the greatest experiences come when life forces us to slow down.

This episode of CHASING PORTUGAL is about surfing, friendship, injury, resilience, and the simple pleasures that make Morocco such an extraordinary place.

Good waves come and go. The people and memories stay with us forever.

Welcome back to Morocco.
