Maldives surf trip

Postby gibranco » Sat Jul 02, 2016 12:49 pm

Hey guys!
I am going to the Maldives in 3 days and need some tips and advice! If you already went there can you please tell me if when it rains it gets chilly or it's still really hot?
And I also wanted some tips about what to take from people who already did surf trips to warm water places as this is my first time surfing in warm water!

thanksss :wink:

It's hot it's humid , take a rash vest , mornings can be cool if you go for a dawn patrol, at most a slightly thermal rash vest for those times. Tropical wax and non reef ruining sun block , recommend Zinc cream type!,
Don't get it on your hand or your board!
Have fun :lol:

Come back and give us a review of your trip. If more people did that we'd all be better informed. I don't know the first thing about the surf and traveling conditions in the Maldives, but I wish I did.

My friend here in Japan, does a surf tour to the Maldives. I was shocked to hear about the trash problem. Search " Maldives trash island ".
