Out of all the other muslim countries. Girls in Morocco got into extreme sports way before than people think.. There was female bmx riders, skaters and surfers mostly in the capital Rabat and Casablanca.. back in early 2000s.
I just want to correct so that Morocco has an "Amazigh" culture, not Arabic. We are in North Africa, not in the Middle East. And as you have noticed, women are liberated, not like the Middle East. We are Amazigh. We appreciate the role of women.
the girls in morocoo are free to practice sports even some of them are olampic and world champions . why you speaking like if we living in saudi arabia or something??
Honestly I wouldn't feel very safe as a blonde girl walking alone at night in the streets of Morocco. Sorry to say that but most Arab men just lose control when they see a blonde white western girl in a bikini (sexually speaking)... They are not used to ! Of course Morocco isn't like Egypt, but that's a fact. Salam !
Great concept. Really like the format. Haven't seen any decent waves yet between Morocco, Sri Lanka, or the China episodes. Just goes to show anyone that you either have to be extremely lucky, chase swell scientifically, or hang around a place for a long time. Just cuz you show up with a big sponsor and a camera crew does not mean ole mother nature is going to cooperate. Getting good surf requires commitment and time, period. Don't think you can go buy a Wave Storm at Costco, watch a few videos, paddle around in crap, and then call yourself a surfer.
Laura's swimwear is really not suitable for Morocco's sexually repressed muslim culture. I know a french girl who got raped by a 15y old boy while her boyfriend was surfing. It may not happen to Laura since she's got a crew around her but those things do happen over there. One of the worst aspect of Morocco is the sand mafia, depleting the beaches of all its precious sand. Good job Billabong on skipping serious environmental issues that are of highest concern to surfers and the planet.
Any girl from Morocco would feel proud and empowered by this!

Wow! As a Moroccan I’m very proud of Meryem ❤️ Billabong makes the best content right now
This was the most wholesome video about the female power in Morocco, good luck to all these beautiful, brave women
Great job Billabong for supporting Laura and given her theses amazing opportunities.Shes been a great role model to my 3 girls.
Unreal!! Can’t wait for the next journey
Why the subtitles on all the Moroccan girl's speeches? They are talking (very good and understandable) English too. A bit annoying.
Non saprei Gianfranco,parlano davvero molto bene l'inglese
Boom! I have the same comment! Subtitle on the entire video or no subtitles. Proud of all you girls! Your English is awesome.
I agree ✅
good point
I’m Moroccan and I understand the wonder roles first hand, this is so cool! Great job!
This is awesome, can't wait for the next step on the tour. Great surf trip inspo!
