If shallow caverns are your thing, the Maldives is often overlooked for the reefs of Indo. The former has a reputation as a small wave playground: it's shallow and perfect, no doubt, but often thin-lipped and 'fun-size'.
As this 2017 highlight reel testifies, that ain't always the case. On a good swell some Maldivian reefs will do a fair HTs impression. Watch Filipe Toledo, Rob Machado and a bunch of little-known surfers get thoroughly pitted.

How's the bail from old mate on the red board about 45 sec...?
The SUP?
Something I find so pleasing to the eye watching Machado surf.
Ahh...just watched it again...thought it was a classic piss poor attempt from a middle aged accountant on his annual surf trip...how quick we jump to conclusions...ha!
That board of Machado seemed to have the perfect combination of speed and control...or maybe it's just him...
Great waves, shits all over Lennox Head
Machado - what a style - so relaxed - power - so much time to do everything.
Looks like a highline tricky barrel to surf. I'm no Kelly though so I'm sure I'd have a great time. Would the footage of Machado be a Lohis? From the videos I have seen it looks like a super fun wave. Anyone surfed it before?
