Maldives surfing has hit the world stage in recent years due to the O'Niel deep blue contests every June and the local grapevine. During the low season from May to October in the Maldives the surf around Male atoll draws surfers from around the world. The reefs are fairlry flat so not presenting too many nasty surprises in the way of fringing coral heads poking out the water and creating clean smooth waves. Joining a surf safari on one of our top class boats offers you the best of both worlds, a great boat to spend your down time with air conditioned ensuite cabins, great food and a fully stocked bar coupled with the Maldives awesome surf oportunities and a chance to explore the lesser known breaks make this a trip one not the be missed.

The Maldives,  officially the Republic of Maldives, is an island country consisting of a group of atolls stretching south of India's Lakshadweep islands between Minicoy Island and the Chagos Archipelago, and about seven hundred kilometres (435 mi) south-west of Sri Lanka in the Laccadive Sea of Indian Ocean. The twenty-six atolls of Maldives encompass a territory featuring 1,192 islets, of which two hundred islands are inhabited.
The original inhabitants were Buddhist, probably since Ashoka's period,in the 3rd century BC. Islam was introduced in 1153. The Maldives then came under the influence of the Portuguese (1558) and the Dutch (1654) seaborne empires. In 1887 it became a British protectorate. In 1965, the Maldives obtained independence from Britain (originally under the name "Maldive Islands"), and in 1968 the Sultanate was replaced by a Republic.
The Maldives is the smallest Asian country in terms of both population and area; it is the smallest predominantly Muslim nation in the world. With an average ground level of 1.5 metres (4 ft 11 in) above sea level, it is also the country with the lowest highest point in the world, at 2.3 metres (7 ft 7 in).
