• Reef-friendly sunscreen the Maldives gets seriously HOT.
• Draw Cash (Dollars) as you can’t get any on the island and wont be able to tip the locals, which may leave you feeling quite sheepish.

Tales from a Maldivian Dream - Day 1
There are few things in life that generate as much excitement in a surfer as embarking on a dream surf trip to an exotic location with your best friends. That excitement escalates ten-fold when the destination is the Maldives.
We have been flying for 15 hours and with barely 2 hours sleep and a full day of surfing ahead of us, it was going to be a long day. We would be digging deep into our fading energy reserves.
They are right about this left. What a phenomenal wave!
We slept well and woke up to a glorious day on the island. The sun was out and the surf was firing! There was nothing else to do but to go surfing, what a blessing.
It was our last day at Cinnamon Dhonveli and sadly we weren't in possession of a surf pass to paddle out at Pasta Point.
The resort only issues 30 surf passes at any given time for Pasta Point and unlike other breaks nearby, surf charter boats are not allowed to drop anchor here.
The wake-up call from reception came at 5 AM but instead of being asleep and resting my tired, broken body, I was wide awake, drinking coffee in the comfort of my bed. I was ready for the next leg of our surf adventure in the Maldives. We were off to surf Lohis, another firing left-hander! Bring it on!
I woke up at 4:30 AM. It was dark and I couldn't sleep anymore. I was depressed. The reality of going home was sinking in and this Maldivian dream I have been living so fully for the last few days was quickly closing out on me, much like the wave that barreled over me at Pasta Point 2 days ago.
