"The camp is the catalyst — for progression, for fun, for reaching a new level. As a surfer, and as a human."

Luke Stedman — on what this trip is built to do

To your next level, on every level.

Not generic tips. Specific, mechanical suggestions for your surfing, applied in the water, backed up on land, and given time to actually sink in.

IN THE WATER

Perfect waves

Kandooma Right and the South Male line-up, surfed daily — waves that reward the changes you're trying to make.

SESSION REVIEW

Your mechanics

A professional cinematographer films every session, then it's broken down into specific mechanical suggestions built around your surfing — not a generic checklist, and footage you'll want to keep.

ON LAND

Strength & mobility

Land-based movement sessions targeting the exact changes you're making in the water.

RECOVERY

Recovery & breathwork

Recovery sessions and breathwork classes, so your body can back up a full week of surfing.

Kandooma Right, and the rest of South Male.

Kandooma Right is a consistent, easy-take-off point break directly in front of the resort — good for every level in the group. When it's firing elsewhere, boat transfers reach the rest of the atoll's line-up, so nobody's stuck surfing one wave all week.

HOUSE WAVE

Kandooma Right

Exclusive to resort guests. Easy outside take-off, long rippable wall — the wave we'll use to drill the mechanical changes from your session reviews.

BY BOAT

South Male Atoll

Riptides, Foxy's, Twin Peaks, Quarters and more, a short speedboat ride away — up to four transfers a day depending on conditions.

SEASON

Aug – Oct swell

Southeast swell season, building toward the atoll's peak — 3–8ft of clean, reeling reef surf on tap.

Surf. Review. Rebuild. Repeat.

Every day stacks the same way — so the correction you get Monday night is the thing you're surfing clean by Wednesday.

01

Surf, filmed

A professional cinematographer on the water every day, from the boat and the point — real craft behind the camera, so nothing goes unseen and the footage is worth keeping long after the trip.

02

Session review

That footage becomes the review — specific mechanical suggestions built for your surfing. It's where the real progression happens, not the surfing itself.

03

Land, recovery & breath

Movement work, recovery sessions and breathwork classes to back up the changes you're making.

04

Mindset

Journaling and focused reflection to turn the day's mechanical suggestions into an actual plan — and the conscious follow-through to act on it tomorrow, not just good intentions.

It doesn't end when the trip does.

Every wave you surf all week gets filmed and handed over — plus a personalised program to keep your progression going once you're home, not just for the week you're here.

What you'll be surfing.

A few clips to show the kind of waves and coaching the week is built around.
