Some of Morocco's best surfers and bodyboarders met at Sidi Moussa Beach in Aglou for the opening round of the Ligue Pro Top 32. Over two days, the country's top 32 athletes in both Surf Open and bodyboard competed, based on their national rankings.
This season, the Royal Moroccan Surfing Federation and the Tiznit Surfing Association introduced a new league format. Technical director Mohamed Khilaji described the "Top 32" system as a way to reward strong performances and encourage a more competitive field among Morocco's top wave riders.
Despite Sidi Moussa D'Aglou being recognized as a prominent surf spot on the Atlantic coast, no independent confirmation of the Ligue Pro Top 32 event actually taking place there has been found in available sources.

Sidi Moussa Beach was chosen for its reliable surf, natural setting, and mild climate. Organizers hope to highlight the area's potential and raise its profile both in Morocco and abroad. Surf-Forecast and BreakFinder confirm Sidi Moussa D'Aglou as a surf location, which fits its use for wave sports events, though this does not confirm the tournament itself.
The push to professionalize and regionalize Moroccan surf and bodyboard competitions follows trends in other sports. For example, as reported earlier, structured leagues and local events have changed cue sports in nearby regions, showing the value of clear rankings and local competition hubs.
Bringing together the country's top talent in one event, the Ligue Pro Top 32 is meant to be a proving ground for Morocco's next wave athletes. The federation's move to this format marks a shift toward broader recognition, using regional strengths and tougher competition to build a stronger wave sports scene. Still, as of the latest review, there are no official announcements from the Moroccan Surfing Federation, the Tiznit association, or international news agencies confirming the event's date, participant list, bracket, or results.
No verified information has been found regarding winners, prize distributions, judging decisions, or qualification changes following the reported event at Sidi Moussa. Additionally, there are no direct comments from federation officials, organizers, or athletes suitable for fact-checking in the available sources.
