Why the Maldives

A bucket list destination most people can only dream of, scattered across the equator in the middle of the Indian Ocean, the gem like islands of the Maldives depict the vision of a tropical paradise. Palm fringed islands with pristine beaches, turquoise lagoons, crystal clear warm water, stunning coral reefs and abundant varieties of marine life hosting a massive variety of world class waves that are now accessible to the travelling surfer.


There are 1,192 islands grouped in 26 coral atolls in the Maldives Republic, measuring 820 km’s north to south and 120 km’s east to west, the closest neighbours are India and Sri Lanka. People who have never been to the Maldives often have trouble comprehending that there is almost no land and the highest point above sea level is less than 10 feet.. It is sea with little pockets of coral dotted on top of an old volcanic mountain range. Only 202 of the islands are inhabited; there are no hills or rivers with little tidal movement.

Reviews

Norm and Tina are hands down some of the best people I have had the privilege to meet. They are conscious, attentive, knowledgeable, compassionate, and respectful leaders through and through. They do not only settle to be expedition guides but conscious on all things environmental and personal. After going on day paddles with Tina for the past year I wanted to advance my skills and challenge myself. Octopus island expedition absolutely provided that opportunity as we learned currents and tides and how to navigate safely on our boards. I learned lots about what gear to bring on a short multi day trip and we fortunately had great weather and saw spectacular marine life and beautiful night skies. Its not always about the achieving the destination but about the company you are surrounded by. Thank you Tina and Norm and I cannot wait to go on another trip with NHX.

This was my third Rancho SUP surf trip and I’m considering going again next fall! It is a great environment for learning and the coaches are knowledgeable and supportive. The food is fantastic and the accommodation is very comfortable and relaxing. Being with like minded guests enriches the experience. Also a great spot for watching the sunset just across the road.

This is a great SUP surf camp for experienced Stand-Up Paddleboarders that are new to surfing or for those looking to build on their current level of SUP surf skills. The dry land and on water coaching is excellent and the video feedback is helpful to see what needs to be dialed in on the next surf session. There was an incredible amount of progression with everyone from day one and the fun group was so supportive and we shared many stories and lots of laughter. The accommodations are super comfortable and the location is close to all the surf breaks. The meals provided by Chef Brandon of West Coast Salty Buns were beyond fabulous! Lots of local fare and so delicious after a long session on the water. This is a repeat trip for many of us and it is fun to reconnect on the ocean and continue building the SUP surf skills.
