Smack bang in the middle of the Indian ocean and all it delivers is a lame tube which needs to be ridden high and tight. Perfect location for the middle age, struggling to stand up due back issues surfer. Oh well, another couple of years and I will be booking my ticket to join the masses.

"Al Jazeera's investigation, Stealing Paradise, revealed how Yameen and Adeeb plundered at least $79m paid by tourism companies to the Maldives' treasury."
