Maldives SUP Surf Coaching Trip 2024
Join this 10 day SUP surf coaching experience surfing perfect waves in the uncrowded Central Atolls of the Maldives.
Our Maldives boat trips are all about progressing your SUP surfing through expert coaching with world renowned SUP coach, Beau Nixon.
The Maldives is the ultimate location to improve your SUP surfing ability as the waves break slowly and mechanically over the deep coral reefs. Beau’s expert knowledge of the Maldives surf breaks means you can feel safe and have the confidence to try new techniques. You will also benefit from video analysis throughout the trip so you can see your progression in real time! Plus, we limit surfer numbers to 8 so you can maximise your wave count.
Non surfers are also catered for with a marine biologist guiding snorkels and identifying the marine life of the Maldives, alongside local island and remote sandbank visits and eco presentations.

It is highly recommended to bring your own equipment for SUP surfing as it ensures the most progression and improvement. However, we understand it may not always be possible, so we do offer rental options. For more information on rental availability and pricing, please reach out to us directly.
The official currency of Maldives is the Maldivian Rufiyaa (MVR), but US dollars are widely accepted. It is recommended to bring US dollars in small denominations and notes that are not ripped, torn, creased or altered.
Credit cards are also widely accepted, especially in hotels and resorts.
Tipping is expected onboard the boat for the local crew and a standard tip is US$10pp/day.
Contact us if you are looking to extend your trip in the Maldives. We can help plan and book a resort stay, or perhaps you might want to visit Sri Lanka on your way home.
