Trip Tips
Flight:
It is important to remember that the international flight is not included in our price. Therefore we recommend you the cheapest airlines flying to Male International Airport (MLE) on the right column.
Material:
You won't find any spare surfing gear in the Maldives, so bring all the boards you might need. However, a two board quiver is sufficient, with a short board and a semi-gun (6'8'' to 7'2'') for bigger days. It is very rare that the surf exceeds 8 feet. Bring your booties to protect yourself from the reef cuts. even if most people surf without them. Indeed, the take off zone is usually deep enough and the reef flat and dead. Wearing a helmet is recommended for bigger days. A wetsuit or a shorty is not necessary in this warm and crystal-clear water. A rash guard or long sleeve T-shirt is highly recommended for sun protection. Bring along plenty of solar cream with high SPF because you are on the equator.
Money:
All is included in our price except for the the soft drinks and beers that are sold at reasonable price (2&3 USD). Therefore bring around 100-150 USD Cash for that. A credit card is also useful for emergencies. There is an ATM located just at the airport but don't count on it too much as it might be empty...
