ABOUT THE SURF CAMP

---

LOCATION AND SURF CONDITIONS

---

Highly consistent Indian Ocean South swells make the Maldives one of the planet's most consistent surf zones. Almost every trip offers quality surf every single day. All waves peel mechanically over perfectly contoured, coral reefs without the shallowness and danger found at many other surf destinations. Expect to surf waves peeling so perfectly you'll be in awe at how perfect Mother Nature can be. Waves can be enjoyed by both shortboarders and longboarders.

This is a place you can ride the best waves of your life without fearing for your safety. And if your home surfs are short beach breaks, you'll love the long rides (typically 100 to 300 metres) that allow time to enjoy the magic as well as perfect that next turn.

Expect offshore winds most days with equal numbers of lefts and rights typically averaging chest high to once overhead. These warm water waves can be surfed on all tides so you can literally surf all day long.

The water is warm enough to swim without a wetsuit, though a light suit is a good idea, for protection from the sun and coral.

SURROUNDINGS / REGION

---

Characterization of surroundings/region

The Maldives lies in two rows of atolls in the Indian Ocean, just across the equator. The country is made up of 1,190 coral islands formed around 26 natural ring-like atolls, spread over 90,000 square kilometers. These atolls structures are formed upon a sharp ridge rising from the ocean, making way for their secluded uniqueness.

Each atoll in the Maldives is made of a coral reef encircling a lagoon, with deep channels dividing the reef ring. A string of islands take their places among this atoll ring; each island has its own reef encircling the island lagoon. The reefs of the islands, alive with countless types of underwater creatures and vibrant corals, protect the islands from wind and wave action of the surrounding vast oceans. This unique structure of reefs and channels makes navigation almost impossible for the passer-by without sufficient information about these waters.

Ninety-nine percent of the Maldives is made up of sea. The people of the islands are widely dispersed across the atolls, with about 200 inhabited islands.

Activities and facilities

The Maldives is considered one of the best places in the world for underwater photography. Sights such as schools of 10,000 to 100,000 fish or groups of 30 to 30 manta rays or eagle rays are frequently seen in and around the Maldives. Marine life in Maldives is full of unexpected surprises and sights. Snorkeling is one of the best ways of discovering the hidden world of underwater right over the shallow reefs.

JOURNEY

Ways to get to the camp

As your plane breaks through the clouds revealing the emerald islands below, prepare for one of the most exciting flying experiences. The runway of Hulhule’ airport, that runs parallel to the shore creates a (rather safe, of course) adrenalin rush, for a second, when it makes you think that the plane is landing on water.

Important details

Tourists are issued a 30-day visa on arrival. A valid travel document is necessary. You can obtain circumstantial visa grants through the Department of Immigration and Emigration in Male'. Your passport must have a validity of 6 month after the arrival date to get in the country.
