Ex WCT South African top 44 touring pro Sean Holmes makes an annual pilgrimage to the Maldives with The Perfect Wave.

.

You may recall his epic 10 days whilst holidaying with his family at Kandooma last year when he scored it as good as it gets late in the season.
.

Earlier in 2017, Sean decided to mix it up and head south from the capital Male aboard The Perfect Wave charter boat Maavahi to a place without a postcard.
.

Sean gathered a group of friends from South Africa and Australia and went exploring. The Perfect Wave’s surf guide Bob Fawcett shot the photos.
.

Upon his return from the Central Atolls, Sean said, “As you can imagine, being a former pro surfer, I have been fortunate enough to go on many boat trips. Let me tell you that good surf alone does not ensure you have a great surf charter experience. A well-balanced group of guys and or girls is critical, as is a knowledgeable, friendly boat crew and a spacious, comfortable boat.
The Maldives is one of those bucket list destinations that delivers an excellent combo of surf, seclusion, pristine tropical scenery and endless opportunity for adventure-filled days. Scoring quality waves is the icing on the cake. Of course, having a quality photographer aboard providing free images of your special memories is something The Perfect Wave provided too.”
