Abderazaq was one of those unique kids with an idea and who looked different from his friends and cousins. He was always the one to talk less and do more, you could see the sparkle in his eyes, he was different, he had a plan and he wanted to get on the board before everyone else, so he built his own from a bodyboard and a plastic bag for a sail, very well built for a kid of his young age. That lasted for a few runs before he got his real rig from a kind tourist, Pavel, who decided to help him out; he also saw the sparkle in his eyes. Later windsurfing became the topic of conversation for all the kids and they knew all the big names of the sport, the manoeuvres and the gear. The sport has changed their lives and the whole lifestyle of Moulay; a majority of the village now work within the watersports industry as windsurfing or kitesurfing instructors. Abderazaq has been one of the standouts of the village, he always appeared to be unique, and indeed he progressed really quickly and became one of the few super talents of Moulay. He says the idea of building a windsurf board from a bodyboard and a plastic bag sail with wooden mast and boom came when he was at primary school after building a wooden miniature windsurfer for a class project. Later, in the summer of 1998, he decided to build one for his home as a decoration, a bigger one that he can be proud of, but to him it looked good enough for a run in the water. He decided to take it out, it worked and a photographer, Zinou Guiri, took the now iconic picture of this kid having so much fun on a homemade windsurfer. Later on, Pavel gave him a brand new sail and others gave him bits and pieces to be able to windsurf on more advanced windsurfing gear.
