Arakmaja - A Moroccan Surf Documentary

Arakmaja is a documentary about Morocco’s surfing culture.

This journey introduces us to people and stories sharing one common thread: the genuine passion for the art of riding waves.

A journey lived through Redouane’s surfing and through the words of pioneer Randolph Benzaquen and shapers Thierry Delbourg and Tarik Zrilida.

Morocco has been, for the last half century, a mystical destination for generation of surfers. While in the last years mass surf tourism has exploded, small family businesses and passionate local surfers like the Regragui’s still embody the genuine essence of a young and vibrant surfing culture.

Vraiment génial... A wonderful documentary. So much good memories from Morocco. You showed a little bit of the surf culture in my country and I 'm grateful. You did share how much surf is everything for us surfers and it is indescribable. This is beautiful. Thank you

I have just spent my first weeks surfing as a beginner around Taghazout. Came home in such good mental and physical state like never before. There is something really magical about this region. Thanks for this vid, showing some familiar places!

Spent some time in 2011 surfing the coast. Beautiful people and culture. Really makes you realize the importance of family, friends, and love in all parts of the world. Local family took very good care of us and treated us like family. Essaouira, Agadir, Dar Buezza, ....awesome surf club outside of Casablance which was amazing to see.

Hey y'all, I'm beginning another journey this winter from Morocco to Mongolia without flights. I'm a life long surfer traveler though I've been digging myself out of a rut and chose Morocco as a must all winter as I wait for the Balkans to warm up. Just wow, and thank you for creaing this beautiful piece of recorded art. Simply inspiring, on a transcendental level.
