Pretty much everyone in the world, including all the surf travel companies, say that the best and most consistent waves in the Maldives are in North and South Male Atolls. I'm not questioning the quality, it's a good region. The thing is though, it's where all the boats are for most of the year due to a number of reasons. This is a collection of photos from where we go throughout the year and not one of these photos is from that main area.

Some of the waves are known by a few people and some just by us. Most of them we take people to and some we don't. You be the judge of what other photos you have seen of the main areas of the Maldives and which do you reckon looks better?

It's a big country and pretty bloody complicated but we actually operate our boats (not just sell them) and we live here so we don't mind taking a few risks with where we go and it has paid dividends over the years. Sometimes it doesn't work (well, only once) but that's really rare and sometimes it does and that's very often.
