LOCAL EXPERT SURF GUIDE ONBOARD
On each trip we are traveling together with an expert local surf guide. Their knowledge of the atolls and swell and wind conditions help us make sure that we are in the right spot, at the right time. Their contacts with other charter boats and guides help us avoid crowds every time that's possible.
SURF FROM SUNRISE TO SUNSET
Most of our days on the boat will start with a sunrise check of the nearest surf spot. Surf, eat a filling breakfast and get back into the water before the sun hits its highest point. After lunch it's time to chill for a bit before returning in the water for a sunset session. We love surfing.

Your stay in Maldives
The boat we'll be living in is a locally built 25m teakwood boat which has been completely refurbished in 2015, assuring complete comfort to its passengers.
With its spacious deck, comfortable double cabins and a team of professional locals on hand, this is the perfect boat to hunt for waves: every day you will jump on the Dhoni (a smaller boat with a surf rack) that will support us while we're surfing from sunrise to sunset with a local guide.
