Surfing in Maldives

Located in the Indian Ocean, the North and South Male Atolls offer clean, peeling reef passes. The waves are generally less hollow than Tahiti or Indonesia, making them perfect for intermediate surfers looking to improve their style. Liveaboard charters allow you to wake up directly next to the lineup.
