Surfing is fast becoming a popular sport among holiday makers visiting Maldives . Maldives has gained world recognition as a great surfing destination after it hosted the famous O'Neill deep blue Surfing tournament 3 years in a row. In its formation, each of the Maldivian islands is blessed with a natural house reef for the protection of the island. All waves which form in the surrounding oceans break on to these reefs, making it an ideal choice for surfers to show their flair.

May to October is the best time to enjoy surfing in the Maldives.
