In the English dictionary, an "atoll" is defined as "a ring- shaped coral reef and small island, enclosing a lagoon and surrounded by open sea".
Maldives has 25 atolls, approximately 1190 islands and thousands of coral-reef shaped to offer perfect waves.

It's been well explored during the last years, building resorts and increasing the number of boat safaris and surfers, but it remains a totally friendly crowd.

The Super Banks is so far the best man made wave ever...er... made!

One wave ride there sometimes can go for a few hundred meters easily, offering different sections for all sort of manouvers such as stand up barrels, airs, floaters, hacks, off the tops, cut backs and whatever else is in your wave attack repertoire. It's for sure one of the highest performance wave on the whole planet.

Situated in Coolangatta - Gold Coast - Australia, the Super Banks is formed by the connection of 3 distinct banks: Snapper Rocks, Rainbow Bay and Green Mount. On the good days the wave connects all 3 banks and sometimes on a big cyclone swell, it even connects to its famous neighbour, Kirra.

The waves are so long that is defined into three sections, from the Rincon point through the infamous Bells bowl to the Shore Break.

Another world class right hander full of potential has been discovered in the Maldives by the Maldives Boat Trip Crew.

While cruising around the non-surfing route around the Maldives, the boat owner accidentally found this reef with never seen before waves breaking alone, unloading all their power on the reef one after the other.

As per email report, he says that the new new surf spot was showing some incredible potential even though it wasn't the high surfing season. He expects to see the reef on fire on next year season and he refuses to tell the location of the wave.

So, if you are keen to surf this new spot, he is the only one who can get you there.
