Morocco should be your next surfing destination

"For the last decade Morocco has ranked as the most visited country in Africa," says No Contest host Ashton Goggans, “and by the end of this episode we'll find out why, out of the 10-million foreigners arriving here each year, a million of them are surfers.” The arguments Goggans makes are pretty compelling: amazing waves, hospitable people, a thriving local surf scene and incredible food that blends the best of Africa and Europe are just the starting point. Don't take our word for it though, hit play above and soak up the action as Moroccan surfers Ramzi Boukhaim, Soufiane Cheroub and @othmanechoufani4820 play host to @kaulivaast3747 , @natxogonzalez1 , @lauracoviella and many more, as well as introducing us to some of the interesting characters who pull make up the diverse fabric of the local surf culture. To recap all that went down while filming for this episode we caught up with Laura Coviella, a hard charging surfer who grew up a short flight away in the Canary Islands, and leaps at every chance she gets to hop over to Africa and surf her brains out in the land of perfect righthand pointbreaks.
