Surfing in the Maldives means translucent walls, colourful fish and surfing in bikini

Imagine surfing in luke-warm water and a three metre manta ray dives gracefully underneath your board. Five minutes later a pod of dolphins swims past, followed by a turtle. The water is so clear you don’t need a mask. You simply watch colourful fish in all shapes and sizes while waiting for the next set to come through. Maldives is the perfect paradise for water-sports enthusiasts with enough intermediate, peeling waves to make any surfer girl smile.
