At a very young age, eight years old, Abdessamad Tourab decided to leave school and his family home to work in the port of Casablanca. Whilst //Abdessamad// was following his routine, **Nabil Ayouch** visited one day the port looking for a young street child to play in his, at the time, upcoming movie. //Abdessamad// was given the role //Nourredine// in the movie //Ali Zaoua: Prince of the streets// (2000). He later on managed to get into a Surf School in //El Oualidia// and won national surf champion in 2005. //Abdessamad// then proceeded to secure a job as a surf monitor to this day, following his passion. The French television channel //TV5// dedicated a major report to him at the time, in which Abdessamad recounts his entire story. His current dream is to create his own surf school. A dream he intends to realize sooner or later.
