There is one downside to surfing in Maldives though. No alcohol is allowed on any of the actual local islands. And so for us surfers that cant afford to stay in a luxury resort or onboard a charted yacht (me and my pals) we are stuck with the only option available - small local hotel on a true Maldivian island. Ten days without a cold beer after each surf session was pretty tough but I guess ultimately that's not so bad. I sure drank a lot of coffee and sodas though hahaha.

Ah no shit, that really sucks!! Ye should have brought a bottle of spirits each.

Great surf shots, I really need to get back in the water again!
