Looking to push your surfing to the next level?
Want to combine that with a surf trip to one of the most stunning surf destinations on the planet?
This 10-night surf coaching retreat on Thulusdhoo, Maldives ticks all the boxes — daily coaching and video analysis from international surf coach Dave Renaud, Cokes on your doorstep and transfers to some of the most famed surf spots in the area.
Thulusdhoo is one of the best-positioned local islands in the Maldives for a surf trip, with two waves within easy reach of your doorstep
Cokes is a quick paddle off the island – a fast, hollow right hander that provides the perfect canvas for perfecting turns and tuning your skills in a hollow reef break.
Across the channel is Chickens — one of the most consistent and user-friendly reef breaks in the North Malé Atoll. This long left hander is ideal for linking multiple turns and keeping the froth factor high.
Thulusdhoo itself is small, relaxed and genuinely Maldivian, without the resort price tag.
With 10 nights of beachfront accommodation and international surf coach Dave Renaud’s full 8-day coaching programme — including daily in-water sessions, video analysis, and five dedicated transfers out to the wider North Malé Atoll to surf Sultans, Honkeys and Jailbreaks when conditions call for it – this has everything you need to push your skills in paradise.
If you’re an intermediate or advanced surfer who wants to come home from the Maldives surfing noticeably better, this is the most focused way to do it.
Cokes – one of the most famous waves in the Maldives, this hollow right-hander is a short paddle off the island and can handle some serious swell
Chickens — this consistent, fun reef break that handles a wide range of swell sizes and works brilliantly as a coaching wave — long enough walls to work on turns and rail engagement, hollow enough sections to push into more critical surfing when you’re ready.
Sultans — another firm Maldivian favourite. A long, powerful right-hander that rewards surfers who can generate speed and commit to the pocket. At its best, it’s as good as anything in the North Malé Atoll.
Jailbreaks — a right-hander with multiple sections which join together into one epic ride on the right conditions.
This retreat is led by international surf coach Dave Renaud.
Dave has over 20 years of high-level coaching experience, including a stint as head coach of the English Surfing Team. His approach is the same wherever he goes: watch how you actually surf, identify what’s genuinely holding you back, and fix it.
8 days of structured coaching built around the conditions on offer. Dave is in the water with you every session — not shouting from the channel — working on your specific limiters in real time with water and land-based coaching twice a day.
Every session is filmed and reviewed daily, so you can see exactly what’s happening and what to focus on next.
Dave’s unique 6 P programme, beach safety and ocean awareness are woven into the programme alongside the water time, and you’ll go home with footage that actually shows your progression across the week.
This isn’t a surf school. It’s proper coaching in proper waves.
Your base for the retreat is Kudhi Boli Beach House – sitting right on the beachfront in Thulusdhoo, with the waves visible from the upper terrace.
Authentic Maldivian design and hospitality — locally owned, locally run, and a genuine step above the typical local island guesthouse.
Choose from either a shared room configuration (perfect for solo surfers or a small group of friends heading out together) or a private room if you would like a little more space and privacy.
All rooms include air conditioning, ensuite bathroom with hot water, as well as access to all the guesthouse common areas and facilities.
The perfect place to rest up after a big day in the surf.
