Fishing village turns to surf for living

  • 10 years ago
The sea has always provided a living for people on Morocco's coast, but dwindling catches in their fishing nets have caused many to seek a living in surfing. In the 14 years since a professional Portuguese surfer set up camp in Taghazout, the tiny berber fishing village has become a major international destination. And the vast majority of riders out on the waves are Europeans. Al Jazeera's Paul Rhys reports from the village of Taghazout.
