Pro Surfer Portfolio
Over the many years we have been in Morocco we’ve had the pleasure of guiding and hosting some of the best surfers on the planet.
Denny has an acute understanding of what is required on a film or magazine shoot and has earned the reputation of being the ‘go-to guy in Morocco’. He will do anything to give the pro’s exactly what they need! Below are some of the projects we’ve been involved in…
Cluster
Andrew Schoener & Mini Blanchard
Featuring: A whole host of people!Just wait until you see this footage!
Sipping Jetstreams
A Taylor Steele Film
Featuring: Shane Dorian, Dan Malloy & Mike LosnessThe Morocco section of this cult film gave Taylor Steele the inspiration for the project that became Sipping Jetstreams. We guided the crew to a secret spot that had been under wraps for many years and Taylor pretty much bagged the whole film in the first 3 days. Good clean conditions and solid swell prevailed enabling Taylor to expand and capture the area beautifully.
Surfing Magazine
Photography by Corey Wilson
Featuring: Dane Reynolds, Yadin Nichol & Dillon Perillo. Now released, beautiful shots, go grab a copy!
Castles In The Sky
A Taylor Steele Film
Featuring: (missing in action Kelly Slater.) Mikala Jones & Marlon Gerber.Despite a few technical issues this footage was shot way down in the Western Sahara. A real pleasure guiding the crew around some very inhospitable terrain and coastline.
Billabong Trilogy
A Taylor Steele Movie
Featuring: Taj Burrow, Laurie Towner & Shaun CansdellThis film was meant to feature Taj, Joel Parkinson and Andy Irons but sadly, due to a lay over period at a surf contest in Mundaka, Andy and Joel couldn’t make it. Laurie and Shaun more than made up for things. Another successful shoot building on the experience gained on the first film trip.
Modern Collective
Filmed by Kai Neville
Featuring: Dusty Payne, Mitch Coleborn & Dion Agius.This film was about the new era of surfers and made Kai Neville the house hold name he is today. Check out Cluster, his latest film which we helped film Dane Reynolds’ section of the film. Awaiting for the release of this film…
Footprint Guides
by Chris & Demi Taylor
Featuring: N/ASurfing guide book for Europe & North Africa. A pleasure to be involved with, Denny was asked to contribute with the story of how things started, why he settled in Morocco and how this impacted on his family life.
Surfer’s Journal
Photography by Dustin Humphrey
Featuring: Shane Dorian, Dan Malloy & Mike LosnessThis gave Dustin Humphrey his first SJ front cover. This really was an eye opening cover with the use of filters on a front lit wave surfed by Shane Dorian. I remember receiving a call from Dustin with a massive thanks!
Transworld Surf
Photography by Dustin Humphrey
Featuring: Shane Dorian, Dan Malloy & Mike LosnessThis was the documented shoot of the trip that ended up Sipping Jetstreams. Quality journalistic skills by Justin Cote.
Campaign 2
A Taylor Steele Film
Featuring: A whole host of short clips with an array of international surfers.Campaign featured out takes from the film footage from Sipping Jetstreams. Check out the 12 second barrel that Shane Dorian gets at Draculas, I actually gave him this wave to show my professionalism, haha.
Surfing Magazine
Photography by D.J. Struntz
Featuring: Dusty Payne, Mitch Coleborn & Dion AgiusAn article documenting Modern Collective. For the Safi segment we organised a boat for D.J. Struntz to shoot from the channel, no mean feat but what great images it made.

Zigzag Magazine
Photography by Alan Van Gysen
Featuring: Sean Payne & Dave RichardsThis article was called Slab Raiders and the front cover speaks for itself. A full on hunt for the heaviest of waves Morocco has on offer. Working with AVG is always a pleasure and after three shoots with him it’s amazing to see how hard everyone pushes themselves to get the required results.
The Stormrider Guide
Europe, The Continent
Featuring: N/ASince Oli at Stormrider introduced Morocco to his guide books years ago we have helped him out with all of the well know surf breaks in this rich area. Detailed information from the best tides, swell direction, the way a wave breaks to what a wave breaks over. This level of detail helps maximise the travelling surfer’s potential to hit these waves at the best time.
Surfgirl Magazine
Photography by Tara Moller
Featuring: Sarah Bentley & Dominique KentAnother travel article shot many years ago with a couple of the most experienced women surfers in the UK. After years of guiding all male pro groups around, the truck smelt a lot nicer for sure!

A Book by Thomas Campbell
Featuring: Dave Rastovich, Craig Anderson, Alex Knost, Dan Malloy, Ryan Birch & Trevor GordonThis book was a collection of photos that T Moe had taken in Morocco over the past decade. Having worked together many times it’s clear to see that his artistic talent will make this book a winner. We’re looking forward to receiving our copy any day now!
