My humble advice is find a co-founder first and then both of you decide to move to Taghazout. Trying to find your co-founder is more important than the location. Mixing the two could be a recipe for disaster. The most difficult thing in the life of any startup is finding the right co-founder. Best to run solo than getting it wrong. All the best.

Slightly off topic: I love the thought of working at an awesome location. "Surf town" sounds really fun. But as a developer, I cringed hard when I saw the picture of them actually working. I know it's only a picture and I'm sure he wants to convey a cool vibe, but it looks really haphazard. Hopefully they have other rooms with more comfortable workspaces.

My ideal setup is a multi-monitored station with a nice chair and an awesome view of a beach.

What about infrastructure? High-speed internet? Security? Government bureaucracy? Cost of living? Business opportunities? Increased equipment corrosion?

A 'surf' town sounds great. But I just moved away from a popular tourist destination in Brazil, due to some of the above concerns.

I'm imagining a surfer zen master saying, "dude it is not the size of the screen that matters, but what is in the mind."

I'm curious as to why the author seems to be so set on Taghazout specifically.
