Morocco biggest swell of the year | SURF FILM

Morocco has some incredible surf, especially when there's a big swell! After having such an incredible time last year, I knew I had to come back.
It’s like going back in time, here, there is a richness, both visually and socially, that is sometimes jarring to the senses. It forces you deep into each moment, and I knew it was something I wanted to try and capture on film whilst I was here. I teamed up with Armand Perez Pou to do our best at that.

Hey Kale! I just finished your Beginner Surfer's Roadmap course & about to start the Intermediate course! It's been so helpful for reviewing and relearning the fundamentals of my surf technique. Especially loved the practical exercises like the new pop-up techniques, strength and stretching exercises to practice at home. I've started incorporating them in my weekly exercise routine. Also just started using BOTH my arms to pump instead of just using my back arm which helped propel me down the line so fast and do small cutbacks during my surf yesterday. Super excited to jump into the intermediate course, just wanted to say thanks! 🥳🎉 If anyone is thinking about doing one of his Surfer's Roadmap courses, highly recommend!! 10/10!! cheers!

[@KalesBroccoli]

Love this Sav thanks so much 😊😊

[@JoshuaSuu]

alan watts and the ocean go well together

[@DR-bu1sr]

Yes it does I randomly did this on an Indo edit of a friend about 10 years ago I forget which part put OMG it went together so good

[@KalesBroccoli]

Agree 🙏🏽

[@TaylorMock]

Stirling Spencer also used it in one of his surf films

[@howdy1487]

Wrecked that one, Dude. All slow-mo, all chopped up, no music, NEXT!

[@berone1642]

Marocco is a special place! quite unique in swell, surf. really liked ur video!! i remember a few ago a few epic sessions with friends at boiler, dracula and anchor point, engraved in our memories for ever.

[@LTH099]

Great work Kale, been watching you for a long while and seen you surfing around Whale Beach over the years. Your surfing has significantly improved, your body positioning is relaxed and technically excellent. Your editing and story telling is also on point. Awesome to see your growth and chasing your passion.

[@KalesBroccoli]

Thank you so much 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@bj0ernaa]

I've only been to Morocco once. But I will remember the place forever. A wonderful place, and I got to experience some of the longest waves in my life, with good friends. Can't beat that feeling!

[@sachnsach4425]

I keep watching this from 12min on. The footage is class, it’s what dreams are made of.

[@simonecancian6970]

Alan Watts, Anchor point and you shredding.... A combo for perfection ❤

[@KalesBroccoli]

Oh thanks !!

[@nicollefisher6110]

I loved listened to Alan Watts whilst watching this. Thankyou 🙏❤️

[@KalesBroccoli]

Glad you enjoyed it 😊😊

[@gergelyovics]

Crazy man, good vid love the music too

[@multisumi123]

I surfed Morocco about 10 years ago. great waves. I was blown away at how good it gets. as I had no idea

[@timhall6380]

Wow Kale, this is an amazing edit. Beautifully captured.

[@KalesBroccoli]

Thank you so much!

[@hman7236]

Beautiful scene🤙crispy and clean 👌

[@ArchibaldOctaviusButler]

Sick video, that tube was amazing

[@joshaskew3141]

That rip when it's big at anchor point Is something else!

[@yl7679]

Omg that wave…is…Beautiful ! This is one your best videos!

[@KalesBroccoli]

Thank you so much!!

[@ianseaweed]

Ha, Alan Watts the surfer! May well see you in the water around the Tiznit area next week. Funny old world.

[@wyliemcmaster4338]

So cool 🏄🏽‍♂️

[@travelventure]

Wow 😮🌊🙌🏻

[@southlander9609]

You are welcome back to Agadir/taghazout when ever you want. So happy to know that you enjoyed this place/waves and the vibs 🙏🏼

[@KalesBroccoli]

Thank you! 😃

[@EdwardBuchanan]

Amazing edit. That last barrel 😮. I surfed the same spot yesterday. At 1/4 the size it still has a crazy current running down the point. I have no idea how you even made it to the peak.

[@michelhouillon7800]

take off 15:15 is insane.

[@user-hr5yw2bi1q]

Just back from Morocco, what an amazing place.We feel in love with this place and the whole laid back vibe that everyone had.Keep up the great work with your videos they really help so much .🤙

Just don't wear your cross

[@meesMB015]

Very very nice video Kale. Thank you

[@KalesBroccoli]

Thank you too!

[@dowhoopido]

Exquisite surfing and flow 😮

[@mickeystix9838]

About that wave of your life. You made it bro. You nailed it, that’s the beautiful thing about surfing, it’s hardly ever what we want, and that’s a good thing, because it keeps us searching. They don’t call it catching, they call it fishing. Stay cool brother.

[@KalesBroccoli]

Definitely !

[@aidanbotha6556]

I'm surprised you think a bigger board would have helped Kale. Take off on point, got a little stuck on the way down but not board length, just misjudged that rib (long period 6ft), then had too much speed that you battled to scrub off. Check turn and stand tall

[@aidanbotha6556]

With that said, your surfing has leveled up a few notches of late 🙌🪽

[@theoutsider6191]

OMG that wave at 15 mins or thereabout!!! What a drop you took into the pocket mate, looks epic. Stoked for you to get that one, and you just don't really see waves like this empty very otfen, so i'm not surprised you were buzzing, and frustrated at the same time. A bittersweet symphony from mother nature eh!!

[@KalesBroccoli]

Bittersweet natural symphony 🥲

[@theoutsider6191]

@@KalesBroccoli I know how you feel mate. Days when the skiing is amazing and it has to stop. The most epic week of powder i ever got was immediately before lockdown hit in 2020 in France. And it kept on being amazing for powder for another week after they switched the lifts off and banned us from hiking up to ski down was the same kind of pain i'd say. It was super perfect weather and snow for weeks after they locked it all down, looked beautiful, but so sad at the same time cause nobody was allowed to ride it, and the way winters are going it will be a thing of the past maybe even in my lifetime 😢😢😢

[@justpaulo]

Very powerful first 6 minutes ! Thanks.

[@KalesBroccoli]

Glad you liked it thank you :)

[@shannonswan6772]

Looked like an epic session. I think you handled being under gunned like a champ especially with that late drop into the barrel. Great video mate congrats 🤙

[@KalesBroccoli]

😅 thank you!!

[@alexdelarge922]

What size should you have on a size like that 6.2 - 6.4 range?​@@KalesBroccoli

[@olpeman]

what a great clip!!!

So sick!

[@KalesBroccoli]

Thank you!!

[@surfsenegal]

Would it be possible to get a more raw full-speed edit of the bomb waves?

[@KalesBroccoli]

As in slower or faster? We might make a highlights of Morocco edit after we release our little three part series

[@timsank]

​@@KalesBroccoliI think he means normal speed. You don't really get a sense of just how fast they were breaking when the footage is slowed down.

[@HowtoRip]

😍

[@hrs8073]

Omg man that’s crazy

[@HoStevie]

Morocco looks epic 🙌🏽 what is the water temp?

[@simoncanil3480]

[@Griffdoggshreddy]

Really great film

[@KalesBroccoli]

Thank you!

[@BaydreamR]

was a gem. very difficult with all that water moving.agree the length woulda helped!

[@user-rs4tf9nf4j]

❤️😮‍💨

[@frederikdecoene8860]

You should do a movie about Imsouane, showing the world how the autorities threat the local people. Houses and shops have been destroyed within 24 hours, leaving hundreds of locals in dispair.

[@KalesBroccoli]

Im not aware sorry

[@frederikdecoene8860]

@@KalesBroccoli No blame at all in my comment.... it's just that lots of People are watching your channel. It's good to show sometimes the downside of what we consider a "paradise" for foreigner surfers. It isn't the case for lots of locals. Anyway, great vidéo. You certainly scored desert point. Never seen it like that.

[@nourbounkit]

When you don’t have paper showing that you owned the land nothing is protecting you It’s sad.

[@imax2000]

Bro, these people know that one day they will have to leave that place, they have no legal documents of owning that land. it s state land.

[@Roland_Maier]

f.... awesome film dude

[@KalesBroccoli]

Thank you!

[@japers420]

Bittersweet sunset session in some ways. But in most ways it was a sweet sunset session. You’ll have to come back again and stay longer!

[@KalesBroccoli]

Frothing on Australia this year!

[@Gilloozz]

Thank you.

[@KalesBroccoli]

Thank you!

[@kelseycurrie533]

That last wave

[@peacepuffz]

The current there is a killer! You can end up wide just paddeling forever watching all these crazy ones go past but you just can't get in the take off zone becuase that current pulls you down.

[@salahzemrag5302]

Hi @Kale ! When did this swell occur ? Was there in November and December but kinda missed it :( :(

[@KalesBroccoli]

November!

what board you riding?

Would have been epic on a JetSki

When was it ?

Late 2023

Wait a minute, is Kale going to found his own religion?

[@martincallaghan6563]

Rockies mistake with the board size You see this time and time again people not riding the appropriate boards for the appropriate conditions and someone with your experience well no wonder you lost sleep over it Sick wives but I went to Morocco in 1986 was no one on anchor point couple of French guys

[@bonefishboards]

Need slower slo-mo.

[@KalesBroccoli]

120fps is detailed that’s for sure haha

[@dudeleboski2692]

Honestly your board looks too small and light for those waves. Your bouncing all over the walls

[@wadebowerman509]

Such a lack of knowledge going out there with such a short board

[@hdeso]

Anchor and other famous spots aren't welcoming anymore...

[@janah_2.0]

Stop making the spots more crowded please 😢

[@KalesBroccoli]

Didn’t name a single one
