We Finally Found an Empty Maldives Wave…But There Was a Hidden Catch

We set off on a surf boat through the Maldives, heading south through the Central Atolls in search of uncrowded waves. At first, it looked like we’d found exactly what we were hoping for… until every other surf charter had the same idea! Even though we had to share the lineup, the waves were fun, the water was crystal clear, and the atmosphere in the water was incredible. Still hoping to find a quieter wave, we made another mission to a reef just around the corner. This time, we found an empty lineup… but quickly discovered why nobody else was surfing there. Join me for another raw POV surf adventure through one of the most beautiful surf destinations in the world. 🌊 SURF COACHING & VIDEO ANALYSIS Want to improve your surfing? 👉 https://fixmywave.com Upload your surf video and receive personalised video analysis and coaching through Fix My Wave. 📲 FOLLOW MY ADVENTURES Instagram:   / shannonainslie   TikTok:   / shannonainslie   Facebook:   / shannonainsliesurf   🌍 ABOUT ME I’m Shannon Ainslie, a South African surf coach, ISA presenter, former Norway National Surf Team coach, shark attack survivor and lifelong surfer.
