“A floating oasis in one of the most gorgeous, surf-rich regions of the world.”
This retreat is for: Surfers who want to experience the boat trip of a lifetime while surfing a variety of reef breaks. Open to intermediate and advanced surfers who ride shortboards or mid-lengths. Must be able to duck dive or confidently turtle roll. Must bring your own surf equipment.
THE BOAT
We’ll spend the week exploring the Central Atolls and living on a luxurious boat that sleeps twelve guests and four staff comfortably in berths for two (one private room available). There’s ample space inside to get out of the sun and relax between sessions, and a nice open top deck where we’ll do yoga, drink coffee as we pull up to a new surf break, and star-gaze at night.
THE SURF
The surf spots in the Maldives are gorgeous world-class reef breaks. The waves are typically a bit softer and smaller than what you’d find in a place like Indonesia since the Maldives are located further North in the Indian Ocean. We plan to cruise primarily around the central atolls and explore the more remote surf spots in an effort to find the most empty waves! Expect to surf a variety of super fun left and right reef breaks, some with long rolling rides, and others with steep, critical drops to practice your more technical surf skills. The waves are appropriate for shortboards and midlengths, and is not a trip for beginners. You need to be comfortable duck-diving or turtle rolling and taking off at an angle. The SWA coaches will be there to support you as always, but having confidence in the water is a pre-requisite.
