Maldives 2026

Thulusdhoo Island is an incredible location for surfers from high beginner to advanced as this island is surrounded by a variety of dreamy, fun and safe waves that generally have mellow take offs and provide a nice friendly wave face to ride along. The island itself has the world class ‘Cokes’ wave that is for the more intermediate to advanced surfers and is seen from our hotel so if you want to challenge yourself then this right hander is for sure a great option!

Surfing level: As the surfing locations are point breaks we recommend that all surfers must be able to take off in both directions. We will be surfing a variety of Left and Right hand waves so all surfers must be able to angle their board at take off and hold the line. We also require surfers to be able to paddle out to the lineup and manage their boards as that everyone is safe.

 ‘Chickens’ is a beautiful left hand point break that provides a round take off and a long wrapping wave with multiple opportunities to practice generating speed and doing turns. This wave is right next door to our island and you can see it break from your hotel room.

‘Sultans’ is a short boat ride away and is almost a mirror image of Chickens but as a right hander. This wave is in an incredible location with palm trees, white sand and crystal clear water with no development just the beauty of nature. This right hander again is a mellow take off with a long wrapping wave face that allows loads of time to play, practice maneuvers and just simply right the wave face. 

‘Honkys’ is sits on the opposite side of the island to Sultans with a great (shorter) left hander and a fun little inside section providing a creative wave to master.

‘Jails & Ninjas’ are also close by and provide more options for variety and adventure.

 IF YOUR UNSURE OF THE SUITABILITY PLEASE DONT HESITATE TO CONTACT US FOR MORE INFORMATION.

Part of the goal with these clinics was to not only provide the dream surf trip for our ladies but to also support local industries and businesses. That’s why we stay on a local island (Thulusdshoo) in an amazing local Hotel (Season Paradise). We also partner with 2 local Internationally recognised photographers and use local boat transfers for all activities. During our day excursions we visit local islands and eat at local restaurants not only to support but also to provide authentic foods. 

The only activity that is not in partnership with local businesses is our luxury day pass to Club Med. This day is designed to give you a taste of the privately owned islands and some time to switch off from surfing and just enjoy being with your new surfing buddies with high end international foods and tasty cocktails on pristine beaches with live music.

The main currency on our island is Maldivian Rufiya & US dollars. There is an ATM on the island that you can access but we have found sometimes it is out of money so we recommend always having some USD on hand during the trip. There is also an ATM at the airport that you’re able to use before getting onto the boat.

As we are staying on a local island it is a requirement by law to cover your shoulders and upper leg area when walking around town. As Thulusdhoo is also a tourist island they are extremely accommodating and understand the western lifestyle. Where our hotel is located we are in a tourist area and therefore we have the “bikini beach” right out the front which allows everyone to be in swimmers when enjoying the beaches. There are designated areas for tourists to be in bikinis but all areas can be accessed, just make sure to have a rashie and shorts if it’s not a ‘bikini beach’ area.When moving around the hotel or going to the eating area please cover up also.

We have an amazing team of photographers capturing every moment of the clinic from the magical waves to the beautiful sandbank picnics to the shark and shipwreck snorkeling and so much more. Hupa and his team use top of the range equipment to give you photo frame quality shots and videos to take home. This means you will need a HARD DRIVE with a lot of space to download your images before you head home. We have had many ladies come throughout the years who have not had enough space on their memory sticks and have had to wait a while to get the shots back so we strongly advise bringing a hard drive with lots of space.

Yes – We are in partnership with one of the local surf shops who provides a great range of boards for surfers to rent during their stay on the island but we always recommend bringing your boards from home as there is a chance the surf shop may not have the size or style your after as many surfers rent boards throughout their stay and sometimes the shop doesn’t have much available.

Yes – Season Paradise has all you need! Our accommodation not only sits right on the beach front but it has a rooftop gym & pool and massage room all for us to enjoy throughout our stay. The accommodation also has bike hire so if you want to go for a sunset ride around town or to other bikini beaches then you can hire them from reception.

No – When we book you into the clinic we will get all dietary needs from everyone and let the accommodation know so they are able to repair food especially for your needs. If there is something you love from home and can’t live without and you’re unsure if the Maldives provides it then we do recommend bringing your own special items just so you feel you have everything you need for the trip.

As Maldives is a Muslim country and we are staying on a local island there is no alcohol allowed on the island which is really nice as it means the island is very relaxed and respectful. 

But…..If you feel like a little afternoon sundowner there is a multiple level Bar Boat located 1km off the island that provides a beautiful location for a well earned afternoon cocktail and some epic tunes. To access the boat it is $10 return and you will need money for drinks on the boat.

If you have never had video analysis then this is definitely a great time to experience it! With all your coached surf sessions being filmed from the water and on land, we are provided with great footage to watch all together and break down to see where you’re needing help and what things can change to create more control, rhythm and flow. 

During the clinic we will have 3 x video analysis session where we all sit together and watch on a big screen all the waves from the days. You will be provided with a journal where you have the ability to write notes on technique corrections and the do’s and dont’s of surfing. You also have the ability to ask any questions you may have to help you with your next surf session. 

These learning activities are a great way to not only learn from your mistakes but to also see others and where they are needing help. Video analysis is one of the best tools coaches use to help students progress faster and with more confidence.

Although it’s all about learning, these Video analysis sessions are also loads of fun. Seeing each other fall and make mistakes all together can be so much fun and everyone always ends up laughing throughout the session.

After surfing your heart out each day you might find your muscles starting to feel a little fatigued and stiff. We do a body movement session early in the morning to just slowly open your body and allow Gee to share with you her routine stretches she does before heading out into the water. This session is designed to show you surf specific stretches to help you feel loose and ready for the next day.

Our belief is that surfing is about connecting your soul, mind and body with the rhythm of the ocean. We use the technical elements and the mental strength of a surfer to push limits and teach you to step out of your comfort zone to achieve goals.

This style of coaching requires us to dive deep into WHY we need surfing in our lives. 

Gee has been teaching this method of coaching since 2007 and offers questions for you to write down and answer in your own private time to have a deeper understanding of why you surf and what surfing provides in your life. 

The Q&A offers you the ability to ask any questions you may have from the clinic or with surfing in general and Gee will be able to provide guidance and feedback. With her many years of international coaching of surfers of many different levels and her Masters qualification, Gee has a world of knowledge when it comes to surfing and is happy to share it with you.
