About this activity

The Maldives is a dream destination for surfers, and Maafushi makes a great base for beginners. This lesson starts on the beach with the fundamentals — paddling, popping up and ocean safety — before you head into the warm, clear water to ride your first waves with hands-on coaching.

Working in a small group or one-on-one with an experienced instructor, you'll build confidence quickly in a fun, supportive setting. Soft-top boards and rash guards are provided.
