Italian mountain guide Patrick Raspo is a 21st Century action man. In the winter he's guiding heli-ski clients down untouched runs in the Aosta's high alpine and in the summer he's climbing, hiking and biking. So he's the perfect ambassador to put Pally'Hi merino to the test.
With the big Atlantic surf Nic and his buddies had hoped for failing to make an appearance, the crew travelled to the final destination of their trip, Paradise Valley. Apparently cliff jumping, home cooked tagines and magical nut oils more than make up for a lack of swell.
Tagazhout hadn't offered Nic and his buddies the chilled vibes or the overhead waves they'd hoped for so the crew packed their car and drove North to Sidi Kaouki in search of the ultimate Moroccan surf destination.
Getting away from it all and enjoying adventures in the Great Outdoors is one of the good things in life. Last weekend Rich, one of Pally'Hi's resident bloggers, stayed local and went on a singletrack mission with his mountain bike in the forests that line the Danube just east of Regensburg.
After the excitement of Marrakesh, Pally'Hi ambassador Nic Spiers and his friends headed west to the Atlantic coast, to the small surf town of Taghazout in search of waves, easy livin' and fresh seafood. Did they score any waves? You'll have to read this blog post to find out.

Last week Pally'Hi ambassador Nic Spiers packed his bags (full of Pally'Hi clobber of course), filled his van full of diesel and headed south from his winter base in Tignes, France to the southern tip of Spain. His destination? Morocco. His mission? Culture and waves!
