About Surfing, Maldives

Maldives is fast establishing itself as a destination for surfers. Surfing is relatively new to the Maldives, especially compared to more established activities such as scuba diving. However, the recent O¡¯Neil Deep Blue Contest held in this year has placed Maldives firmly on the world¡¯s surf map. While most of the recognized surf breaks are in Male¡¯ Atoll, there is certainly more to be discovered. For resort based surfing it is advisable to choose one of the resorts on the eastern side of North Male¡¯ Atoll where you could get access to a number of excellent breaks.
