The FOUNDER
ISMAIL BAIROU
My name is Ismail Bairou. I come from Imsouane and Essaouira, and I grew up by the sea, nurturing a profound passion for water sports. I began practicing them at a young age and made the decision to transform my passion into my career. In 2023, I created Mystery Surf Camp by transforming a family house in Imsouane into a surf camp. Since then, I have enjoyed every day meeting people from around the world, engaging in enriching discussions about life, surfing, and travel, and ensuring everyone has a great time. I thoroughly enjoy sharing my experience with others. As a certified IKO instructor, I ensure that my training sessions are professional, safe, and designed to facilitate efficient and rapid learning, all while ensuring a highly enjoyable experience.
