CENTRAL ATOLLS
Maldives
A 140 km boat ride south of the more accessible (and crowded) North Male Atolls you will find an endless amount of reef breaks with consistent conditions for intermediates.
TRIPS IN APRIL, JUNE, JULY & OCTOBER
Shoulders season is perfect for intermediates. With less abundant big swells (and weather), medium-sized waves are as abundant and perfect as you could ask for.

In order to get to the boat you will have to fly to Male, Maldives.
To get on the boat on time and leave to the Central Atolls on time, you will need to be in Malé before 12pm on arrival day. For the return you need to book a flight after 1pm on departure day.
If you would like to arrive and depart a few days earlier/later to be able to settle in before the trip and chill down after, we recommend you to stay either in Himmafushi or Thulushdoo: both are close to Male (30min speed boat) and have quality surfing spots within walking distance!
Once you booked the surf trip, we will keep updated on the WhatsApp group chat!
If you need help or have any other questions just let us know.
In the Central Atolls of the Maldives, no two days are alike.
What you can expect everyday are long surf sessions, plenty of time swimming with fishes and dolphins, good company and 3 filling and delicious meals ready for you every day, to keep you fueled for more surfing.
During the ten days there will be a few cruises: to reach the Central Atolls from Male and to travel in between atolls looking for empty and exciting new surf breaks. These cruises are the perfect moment to rest, relax and simply wonder at the beauty of the Ocean unfolding in front of your eyes, with vast emptiness dotted by deserted islands and dolphins swimming in the water.
Here's what a typical day that does not include travel could look like:
5.30 am - 8 am: Sunrise surf session
8 am - 9 am: Breakfast on the boat
9 am - 11 am: Time for some rest and relax
11 am - 1 pm: Second surf session before lunch
1 pm Lunch on the boat
2 pm - 4 pm: Time off to relax or swim to a deserted island or do some snorkeling
4 pm - 6.30 pm: Sunset surf session
7 pm - 8 pm: Dinner on the boat
8 pm - onwards: Time off for some rest or socialize, drink a few beers, recall the days best waves and play some games with the rest of the group
The Maldives surf season goes from April to October. Waves are incredibly consistent and while in Summer it often gets big and sometimes a bit wet, the shoulder season (October - November and March - May) brings good weather and more playful conditions for the intermediate surfer.
Since the Central Atolls take longer to reach, fewer boats operate in the area compared to the more crowded Male Atolls – which translates to fewer surfers in the line-up.
Since most surfers heading to the Central Atolls are usually interested in more advanced waves, this often leaves other more intermediate spots (but still world-class) completely empty. This is the perfect recipe for a week of scoring incredible waves and improving your surfing skills.
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.

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.
The large saloon is furnished with comfortable sofas perfect to hide from the sun in the warmest hours of the day. For the sun lovers, the sundeck is located above the saloon and furnished with both sundeck chairs and sun beds.
Inside the boat, you will find six comfortable cabins, four twin and two double cabins which are fully air-conditioned with individual thermostat control, en-suite shower and WC.
Spend 10 days with a view of the Indian Ocean all around you.
The Boat's maximum capacity is 12 guests + 1 or 2 The Surf Tribe group leader(s).
