WHO ARE PABLO SOLAR AND MANUEL PAULITSCH AND HOW DO YOUR COACHING SESSIONS WORK?

Coaching & Sessions

During your week on Thulusdoo, you can surf as many times as you like, as you can paddle out to Cokes whenever you want. One session per day is our jointly filmed two-hour session, which we mainly film at Cokes, depending on the conditions. This point break is perfect for filming from the shore at the ideal angle.

Depending on conditions, surf sessions can take place at nearby spots, accessible via local boat operators. In the evening, before dinner, video analysis takes place at the hotel. Pablo and Manuel analyze your waves together on a projector, explaining step by step what you can improve and giving you individual corrections for the next day. This daily "Train – Film – Analyze – Improve" system ensures that you make noticeable progress within a week.

He was the national coach of the Spanish surf team for over 15 years, has won six Spanish championship titles and one European championship title (Senior), and has worked with professional and up-and-coming surfers at the highest level for many years.

FAQs

What surfing level do I need for this trip?

As long as you can surf independently, paddle, and are comfortable in the water, you're perfect for us. We'll meet you at your current level, film your sessions, and provide individual coaching, whether you're intermediate or advanced. Everyone works towards their own goals.

Can I book a double or triple room as a solo traveler?

Yes, that's possible. You'll be paired with suitable people from the group. The rooms have twin beds and a private bathroom. The only important thing is that you're willing to share a room with other participants during the week.

Does each room have its own bathroom?

Yes. Each room has its own bathroom, which you only share with the people staying in the same room.

Is vegetarian food possible?

Yes, vegetarian options are available. Please let us know when making your reservation so we can adjust the meal plan accordingly.

How does lunchtime proceed?

Lunch is not included in the package. Thulusdhoo offers numerous dining options. You can find simple meals in local cafes for around €4-5, while international or more upscale options are more expensive. This gives you the freedom to explore the local cuisine or choose according to your own taste, which is why we have deliberately not included lunch.

Is there an alcohol ban in the Maldives?

Yes, alcohol is generally prohibited in the Maldives, and this must be respected on local islands like Thulusdhoo. However, there are ways to enjoy a beer or two on the bar boat without offending the local culture. The bar boat is an old charter boat located right off the island. Here you can order your drink of choice, do some snorkeling, and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere on deck.
