Please bring everything you need because surfing equipment is not available on board and the surf shops in the capital Malé does not offer a wide choice.
Most surfers will find a short fun board is suitable for most conditions in the Maldives, but bring a longer board for bigger swells.
A wetsuit is not necessary as the water is always warm. But a light suit or rash vest is a good idea for protection from the sun and from the coral.
Booties are essential for picking your way over exposed coral reefs, and a helmet is recommended.
And DON’T forget to bring loads of sun cream.
