THE TAGHAZOUT BAY MOROCCO PRO 2025 HAS BEGUN!

February 1, 2025. Agadir, Morocco.

Today marks the start of the IBC World Tour 2025, and for the second year in a row, Taghazout Bay in Morocco is hosting this event, which is gradually becoming a staple on the tour. Note: The opening event will run from February 1 to February 16, 2025, featuring three main divisions: Junior Men, Men, and Women. The Junior Men’s competition will take place from February 1 to February 3, after their briefing on January 31. The Men’s and Women’s divisions will follow from February 5 to February 16, with their briefing set for February 4.

Just a reminder that this year, with the new structure of the IBC World Tour, Junior Men will have the chance to compete in several Rising Series events, but the world champion will be decided in the grand final at the Gran Canaria Frontón King. JUNIOR MEN / RISING SERIES ROUND 1 (Non-elimination)

At 9:00 AM, Round 1 kicked off! This round is non-elimination, so those who don’t qualify will get another shot in Round 2 of the repechage. The waves were perfect for the start of the event, with fun conditions that allowed the young competitors to showcase their talent.

Let’s give a shoutout to the locals, with a whopping 8 athletes from Morocco making it straight to round 3! Moumo Hamza scored the highest for his country with a total of 13.25 points. Big congrats also to Moutaouakil Adam, Tchatou Rachid, Tarfaoui Souhail, Elgharbaoui Younes, Izikki Youssef, Agouzul Abdelkarim, and Laabi Sami.

ROUND 2 (Repêchage)

The organizers decided to keep going with round 2 today, featuring repêchage heats where athletes got a second chance to stay in the competition.

Today wrapped up with a great show, given the conditions the ocean provided. Tomorrow, check-in is at 8:30 AM to keep the action rolling from Taghazout, Morocco. The plan is to kick off early with Round 3 of the Junior Men Rising Series. Don’t forget, you can catch the event live and check out all the content on the various social media platforms and the official IBC World Tour website!
