so I’m finally getting around to continue my posts on the Maldivian adventure, we left off here on day one, our flight from Lisbon via Dubai to Maldives and then our journey by boat directly from the airport to our floating home for the next 6 days. So we pick up the thread again on day 2, on our Dhoni, which is our transfer boat form our main boat to , well to where ever we want to go. I already had a surf before breakfast with Maya our Portugese surf guide.
All on deck, get the sun tan out girls and boys, its going to be a sunny day ( we landed in rain and the forecast was for more rain )
Maria, lappin’ up that sun and summer feelin’
Yara, form www.thischickgotstyle.com, jumps right in
Aline and Bie follow
hahaha, that’s the way to do it Anne-Ro. Well, in her defense, she has never been out on a board before 🙂
That’s where we are heading to, the calmer water inside the reef break, the break is called Jail break, as there used to be a jail on the island
Marco, first time out on a surfboard, looking comfortable
Bie and Chris page from Magic seaweed. Bie is also a first timer, well they all are except Chris has had a dabble before as has Maryela
So Maya and I decided it would be best to bring everyone out to the shallow reef area on the inside section, so we can show the dangers of the reef, as these guys have not surfed before and we want to be able to catch their first wave, but we also want no one to go home with any major injuries, except for jaw pain from the constant wide grin, and as there is no such thing as a beach break in the Maldives, only reef breaks
Ilaria, form Vanity Fair Italy, clearing hating her job right now ( as am I hehehe )
So after a quick run through of some of the safety issues its enjoy the water
and paddle to the island for a quick look around

could hang here for a few days no problem
Time to head back to the boat and check the waves
love the change of colour where the sea grass ends

Maryela has a go standing up and getting a good feel of the board
Marco, cheating on a much longer fatter board 🙂

Double dutch
What’s with the Jacqui pose, oh I see, introducing the high diver of the trip, Marco 🙂
Ah , us girls can do this too, hehehe, well yes, jump, but Marco dives 🙂

No photos of the first waves ( I shot it all on Go Pro video ) but everybody is smiling and happy, Maria and Miguel looking content as we head back our boat

and a good night sleep
