Hi guys,
Anyone windsurfed in Maldives before? What are the conditions like, the wind, the water etc? Googled it but there wasn't much information.
I have been offered a job there so wondering if I should bring my gear with me if I do accept the position.
Hi fionzc,
I was in the Maldives about 10 years ago, it is a great place to take your kit. Although it depends on the time of year, doldrums (for about 3 mounths), rest of the year consistant trade winds all day every day!.
Make sure you take plenty of spares, it costs a alot to get stuff sent there
hey SJM, where exactly did you windsurf at? at Male or at one of the resort islands? and what size sail & board did you use?
I read that it's an up & coming surfing location too. And I guess there's always diving when there's no wind.
Thanks Zed.
Someone showed me this video just last night...a little hard to believe that Maldives has such conditions when all I see in photos are flat water & really (really!) old looking sails. Think I might just bring my gear along...it's better than leaving it in Singapore collecting dust coz I have no idea how long I'll be away.
