Under our “unorganisation” there is an organised scheme.

We are surfers, and this is a surf trip; we do not want to offer a closed itinerary or schedule. The meteorology, the waves, the winds, and the swells are unpredictable. We know we want to take you to remote waves, but each area breaks with a different swell and wind.

Between our team, we will decide where and when we are heading, always thinking about the best conditions for our guests.

Ideally, yes, we are going to have an adventure exploring the remote Indian Ocean, nowhere to rent a board.

We recommend you bring at least two surfboards in case something happens. You know how boards are sometimes handled at airports, and things happen in the water too.

If this is a problem, please notify our team in time so we can arrange an alternative solution. We can arrange for surfboards to be rented from a local surfshop (please note that in the Maldives, rental surfboards will not be in amazing conditions).

At least two or three good leashes, plenty of tropical wax, at least two sets of fins, and plenty of zinc. Remember, it’s an adventure in the remote Indian Ocean; we won´t find any surf shops—just coconuts and fish. 

Closer to the date of the trip, we send out a checklist with recommendations and ideas of what to bring. Also, we send out a questionnaire; the idea is to avoid bringing 10 medical kits, 10 ding repair kits, etc. We split it among the whole team, so each one is in charge of something. Teamwork!

Note: We highly recommend that you bring reef booties, no matter your level. It’s good to have them with you, just in case. It’s better to have them with you than to regret not having them.

To join as a surfer the requirements are to catch your own waves, be able to be safe in the water and surf along the wall of the wave. 

You must be 18 years old to book a trip by yourself.

Minors are welcome on our family trips, or on our kids surf coaching trips. Please contact us for more information.

Excuse me?

We have had young frothers join us, whose passports said they had done 65 loops around the sun.

Age is a number… we have had 65-year-olds who are ‘young’, younger in spirit than some of the 20-year-olds we know. You are welcome to share this adventure with us and inspire us!

Most of our guests range in age from 30 to 60 years old.

These group surf trips were originally put together for solo surfers who wanted to travel overseas in search of waves and adventures, but with like-minded surf buddies.

Sometimes you find yourself that your friends or family..don’t surf. Or that you just want to go on a trip without your family, on your own, meeting new faces. Or your friends or family surf different kinds of waves. Or you want to switch off and on your internal world. Or in any other situation, you just want to do it on your own.

Our guests don’t know each other; complete unknown people in between each other. I (Silvia writing this) happen to be the one that knows everyone, due to our videocalls.

And hey, yep, unknown for the first day..after the second day, great friends…and by the end of the trip, seeing how to organize a future surf trip where they all can make it.

If you happen to be waiting for a friend to join you or trying to convince someone to come with you, we have two recommendations:

– Either “just do it”, do not wait for anyone..we are here for you, and we can chat about it on our videocall.

– Or, wait till you feel ready to travel on your own, but don’t try to convince people. That is our recommendation.

We have seen this situation many times, and the end result is that the one wanting to come either doesn’t come and regrets it or comes on their own and it’s the first of many trips on their own.

You know what? These videocalls and the cost of the trip filter out a lot of people.

10–12 days on a boat can be a long time. You cannot just open the door and go for fresh air, like in a land-based camp. That is why video calls are important.

It would be way easier for us to set up a direct online payment form for people to just book their spot straightaway, selling out all the spots without having to spend time on calls. But hey, ‘I myself am strange and unusual’ (Silvia speaking..Im writing everything, Im here speaking straight and openly to you), what I mean is that I love my ‘me time’, I can at times feel out of places out of groups. Ten years ago, I would have never imagined organizing these group trips and traveling with strangers.

The first ever boat surf trip I arranged was because I couldn’t find a tour operator or surf travel agency that would take into consideration my concerns (travel agent was not my career; I used to be an engineer). The more I asked, the more I was ignored. I wanted to know who the other guests were (my concern was what kind of waves they were after, if I was going to enjoy their wave preference, if there were going to be waves for me), and if there was someone responsible for the group. Their concern was for me to just pay. If I didn’t catch waves or feel integrated within the group, it was my problem.

So, as the market could not give me what I wanted, I organised my own desired trip, ticking all the boxes I needed. I actually had calls with each person who was interested in joining before accepting a single dollar.

It was going to be just that one trip, but it turned out that I was not that weird. There were many more people throughout the world feeling exactly the same. And I have continued to use the same methodology. I have videocalls with anyone interested in joining any of the trips.

So, answering your question, how can a trip on a boat with strangers go?

Against all odds, epic! Our percentage of repeaters is 85%; I reckon we are doing something right.

Yes, you can join us; however, be aware that there will be no surf lessons for beginners and no pushing people into waves.

We will sail, cruise, relax, snorkel, visit local islands and uninhabited islands, practice yoga, meditation…and while we are surfing, the guests who do not surf but want to be close to us, can snorkel around or hang at the dhoni (the auxiliary boat that will be anchored beside the surfbreak).

We can chat about it on our videocall 😉

Wow, the Maldivian underwater scenery is unreal!

We advise you to bring along your own mask and snorkel, as this means you’ll be assured your mask fits your face properly, is comfortable, and is less likely to leak.  We find that peace of mind goes a long way. A mask and snorkel are small and light and should take up very little space in your suitcase.

Sometimes fins are available on the boats; other times we arrange the rental for the guests. We recommend that you check with our team.

A video-call must be organized with the team in order to be invited to book your space in this adventure. To fully confirm your spot, a non-refundable deposit is needed.

Private and shared room availability is on a first-come, first-served basis. Please book your reservations early to receive your preferred accommodation.

Please confirm your availability with our team, before booking your flights. The flights are not included in the package. We do offer concierge services to help you make all the arrangements needed.

If you decide to extend your stay, we can assist you in booking your desired vacation at our luxurious resort recommendations or affordable local accommodations.
