A typical day at a surf cruise in the Maldives
YOUR DAY
The Maldives lifestyle
Imagine waking up on a boat in the Maldives and enjoying a cup of coffee while looking out at the breathtaking view of crystal blue water and amazing waves. Then you hop in the water and spend all day surfing with your new best friends!
After a good surf session you will be served a delicious lunch on the boat. In the afternoon you can choose between going free diving or just chill on deck and sunbathe before another surf session.
If you can’t get enough of the waves, you can also choose to spend all day in the water surfing and then end the day with a beautiful sunset surf before everyone gets together for dinner on the boat. Can it get any better than that?
SURROUNDINGS & SPOTS
The Area - Central Atolls
Meemu, Thaa, Dhaalu and Laamu Atolls lie south of the capital Male and are littered with medium-sized reef breaks with Ying Yangs, a world class right hander, one of the biggest drawcards.
Meemu, Thaa, Dhaalu and Laamu Atolls offer spots exposed to all wind directions and for all levels. All spots in the Meemu Atoll are on a coastline facing to the east. There is always a left or a right hander well protected from the predominant south westerly wind directions, but south easterly or even easterly winds may affect all spots. All spots are close to each other so you can change spots within a few minutes!
