• Access by beach

  • Shoulders is one of the few ‘paddle to’ beginner waves in the Maldives and is the perfect left-hand surf break to start your surfing journey.

• Access by boat

  • Turtles is a long, soft right-hand wave perfect for beginner to intermediate surfers and those wanting to practice technique.
    
    

  • Petrols is one of the most picturesque breaks around the island that offers a short and punchy left-hand wedge perfect for intermediate and advanced surfers.
    
    

  • Jetty C is one of the most underrated left-hand waves in the Maldives. This break offers long running left hand waves perfect for intermediate and advanced surfers.
    
    

  • Machines is one you may be familiar with. Machines is arguably the most perfect wave in the Laamu Atoll. This right-hand reef break, peels perfectly down the line offering a nice barrel at the start and then a playful wall to follow. A surfer can do everything from getting barreled, to snaps, to cutbacks, to airs. A must see/must surf wave if the conditions are right. 
    
    

  • Outside Ying Yangs. Reacting very much like a beach break due to the straight reef, this break can offer some fun, punchy rides for one or two turns before closing on the reef. Due to the reef and paddle back requirements this wave is recommended for intermediate and advanced surfers.
    
    

  • Ying Yangs Point offers a slow easy take off and some perfect walls to perform slow, stylish cut backs. This wave is recommended for intermediate to advanced surfers.
    
    

  • Inside Ying Yangs is one of the better-known waves in the Laamu atoll and may just be one of the most unique and majestical waves you will ever surf.
