NORTH MALÉ ATOLLS A great variety of reef breaks exist ranging in intensity from quite mellow shreddable walls to gnarlier hollow pits. There is something for everyone. In the North Malé atoll, between Malé and Thulhusdhoo there is an assortment of 7 breaks. Jailbreaks is a classic right-hander that was previously off limits. A long down the line right-hander with 3 distinct sections including a mid barrel section. Rides of up to 300m can be had when its lining up. Honky’s is located near HP reef just north of Himmafushi Island. It is a fast wrapping left at 4-6 ft and needs the right swell direction. Worth checking if Sultans is crowded. On the other side of the channel you have Sultans. An easy right-hand take-off which leads you to an intense wrapping section at the end. Breaks 3-8 ft. Please note: this wave is the most protected from the southerly winds in the North Malé atoll and collects the most swell – so go there if it is small. 20 minutes further north you will find the right-hander known as Ninjas which breaks off Kani Resort. A mellower right-hander which can be quite fickle. Directly opposite Kani Resort you have Lohis, a long whackable left-hander that breaks off Hudhuran Fushi Resort. A very consistent wave which has hosted the WQS O’Neill Deep Blue Open for the past 3 years. 25 minutes north of Lohifushi are 2 breaks opposite each other at a reef pass. The right-hander known as Cokes Colas breaks 3-10 ft and is fairly protected from the southerly winds that may affect other breaks such as Lohis. This wave has been well photographed and is the hollowest in the North Malé atoll. This will test your tube-riding ability. The left-hander known as Chickens is probably the fastest wave in the North Malé atoll. This wave holds swell size from 3 ft to well over 10 ft and provides rides up to 500m long. Over the months of June/July/August the North Malé atoll surf breaks are getting busier due to the European summer holidays. Many nationalities of surfers flock to the Maldives over this period. The surf at this time is very consistent and can accommodate a large number of surfers spread-out over the 7 breaks in the atoll. If you are after less crowded conditions Mar/Apr/May/Sep/Oct are recommended. The swell over this period may not be as consistent as June-August however good waves certainly still exist at this time.
Well done mate!! As the owner of a successful Real Estate Company and being only 29 years of age you appreciate so much more the effort companies such as yours go to make your holiday that extra special, your entire team must be commended, especially going that “extra mile” that is not expected. Keep up the great work and after getting engaged in the Maldives (on my holiday) I look forward to booking my next trip with you being a Honeymoon/Surf Trip but we wont call it that will we?? Good Luck with your business. ******************************************************** Subject: Honeymoon at Lohifushi Resort I decided to write this letter as I wanted to share this experience with other surfers. I am 44 years old, live on the Sunshine Coast in Australia, still ride a short board and enjoy challenging waves. In August 2002 I got married for the second time. My wife and I were looking for the ideal honeymoon location. We wanted somewhere that was exotic, romantic, relaxing and fun, but also had surf. We thought about Fiji, Samoa etc., but there all outer reef breaks and require boat trips to ride them. That could be very boring for my new wife, who is not a surfer. We wanted somewhere that would suit both of us. Eventually we decided on Lohifishi in the Maldives. We left for the Maldives with an overnight stopover in Singapore on September 2nd. Singapore- What a fantastic city! The shopping, the sights, the food & the people! What a great place to start our honeymoon & break up the trip.The next evening we flew to Malé where we were greeted by the Lohifushi island staff who whisked us away by speedboat to our island destination Lohifushi.We awoke the next morning to paradise. Picture, postcard perfect. A truly beautiful island. Coconut palms lining the sandy beaches & crystal clear water. Lohi's, the left hand break on one end of the island, has the
most perfect waves imaginable - 4-6ft offshore, minimal crowd (8
max) and For the non-surfer there were plenty of other things to do, like, snorkelling, diving , canoeing, boat trips to other nearby breaks and much more. We even watched an inter-island soccer match. The whole experience is something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We couldn't have picked a more perfect destination for a surfer with a non-surfing partner. We're definitely going back. So, all you surfers with partners, get on the phone, book your
trip & get over there. I promise you won't be disappointed because
there's something for both of you. Once again, thanks, you gave
our marriage a wonderful beginning & it can only get better.
