Did you see the Moroccan Gold video with Alex Gray mining a wild African right?

And did you notice he had a GoPro affixed to his kisser?

And lastly, did you wonder when that footage would surface..?

Well wonder no more...

What a wave! Skip straight to 3:34 if you also hate slow-mo.

Wow. check out this on youtube (Channel Islands "Peregrine Groveler" Surfboard review by Noel Salas Ep. 9) has that GPS tracker on the nose and it also tells you how high your air was and how long you were in the air with all the other perks. How crazy would it be for barrel time and girth no more mates shutting you down....................

Looks insane! I'm in Morocco next month. Any body know the odds of scoring waves like this? Every thing I've read online says it's gonna be flat and blown out but you never know right...?

That was an abnormally large swell, Josh. The biggest of the year thus far. You're going a touch late in the season but there's still an opportunity for swell though perhaps not of that magnitude.

Thanks for the extra info Stu. I'm heading over around 20th of April so hopefully not too late.
My main concerns are the winds as I'll be surfing between Taghazout and Essoruire and I've heard that part of the coast gets blown out around that time of the year.... Fingers crossed for some off shore winds! Thanks again

Safi needs a big swell, but the points farther south don't. You could well score.

@josh canalini

You should probably take a water purifier/ morocco is pretty darn sketchy in the water department.
Not sure if i have ever felt sicker than when i was trying to score waves like this.
take care and stay safe.
