If you are looking to add a bit of fun to your holiday, then water sports in Maldives has plenty to offer including the thrills of windsurfing amidst an idyllic tropical paradise!
Choosing Your Area
It’s important to pick a suitable spot for this activity and in the Maldives, island resorts near lagoons are perfect for this activity. Check if the property you plan to stay at has a water sports centre which features windsurfing and the needed equipment which can be hired out.
Getting Started
If it’s your first time, don’t worry; resorts such as Dhigali Maldives offer private windsurfing lessons and expert guidance for you to get the hang of it. Such properties have good-quality equipment and provide VDWS windsurfing courses too. The country’s lagoons are relatively shallow and the waters warm so conditions are great for beginners.
The Best Season
For the full exhilaration of windsurfing in Maldives, the optimal season is from May to October. This is the monsoon period which means the winds will be more powerful offering increased speeds. Beginners can also try this activity then or during the high season from November to April when winds are not as strong.
Things to Keep in Mind
Always listen to your windsurfing instructors carefully since they not only know the activity but the lagoon conditions too. Pros heading out to sea should not stray too far from their resort in Maldives and keep those at the water sports centre informed of their plan; additionally, one should check the predicted weather before setting out.
