Surfing Highlights
Machines
Ying Yang
Laamu
One of the most consistent spots in the Central Atolls that has a long inside section and can produces some incredibly hollow barrels.
Muli Inside / F1
Meemu
A very fast right, with long walls, hollow, barreling, can be shallow, but still with a safe ending.
Mauroofs of Kasabu
Dhaarlu
A break outside Kudahuvadhoo island is a right-hander works best on light north/northwest winds and a good southwest swell.
Finnimas
Central
Speedy, shallow left that can produce some firing waves. When it is on it can provide some greenroom time.
Inside Mikados
Central
Powerful waves with fast, hollow walls. Can produce some awesome barrels and considered one of Maldive’s best waves.
Blue Bowls or Voodoos
South
Blue Bowls is the most flexible right, tucked inside the pass and protected from SW-W Winds. More of a point style wave, it has good a length of ride and nice bowly sections for performance moves. All swells, all tides and all sizes.

Food and beverage
Meals on the boats are all-you-can-eat and are a mixture of Maldivian, Sri Lankan and western dishes. The chefs are also willing to adjust the menu to suit individual needs if required. You can advise us after you book if you have any allergies and we can advise the chef before your trip. For Breakfast, tea, coffee, fruit, juice, toast, cereals and eggs and/or pancakes are provided. Lunch & dinner is a banquet of five different dishes with daily variations including fresh fish & tuna dishes, curries, rice and pasta dishes, vegetables and salads.

Tea and coffee is served after all meals. A bunch of bananas ripen on deck and you can eat these as you wish. Water is also free and you will be given your own Perfect Wave water bottle on arrival which you can put your name on and refill as you wish. This helps save the local environment from the pollution of using plastic bottles.
Surfing South
It is often said that the Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll (also named Huvadhoo Atoll) offers the best conditions of the Maldives. It works best in March, April and September to November. But it picks up more swell than any other Atoll in the Maldives, and from every direction, all season long. The Gaafu Dhaalu area offers the greatest quantity and variety of spots outside of Male Atolls, without the crowds. To almost every island on the outside of the Atoll, you will find one or two breaks. There is everything from barreling and hollow walls to soft and never-ending playful waves.
Surfing Central
Meemu, Dhaalu, Thaa and Laamu Atolls offer spots exposed to all directions and for all levels. All spots in the Meemu Atoll are on a coastline, facing to the east. Inside F1 is the pick of this atoll and is a perfect, fun long right that stretches into the channel. The Thaa Atoll picks up south-west swell and may be even bigger than spots on east facing coastlines of other atolls.This area will be chosen only in very stable weather conditions. Farms and Chambers are the pick in Thaa and the backdrop is jar droppingly beautiful with the islands still uninhabitable. Spots in the Laamu Atoll are spread, from the south facing coastline, along the east facing up to the north-east corner, where waves wrap around. Machines is our pick here and this perfect mechanical right is a barrel machine on its day. We also like to spend an afternoon visiting Six Senses Resort for a cocktail or two when surfing Ying Yangs.
Surf Guide
