The Stormrider Surf Guide: Maldives

The Stormrider Surf Guide: Maldives

It's strange to think that the lowest, flattest country in the world is in fact perched atop one of the most impressive mountain ranges on the planet and that these lofty peaks are flecked with sand instead of snow. From the Lakshadweep Islands off India's west coast all the way to the British Indian Ocean Territories of Chagos, the 2000m high Deccan Plateau is a result of two tectonic plates meeting. The magma spewed out, massive volcanoes were formed, before sinking back into the sea, leaving behind the rings of limestone and coral we now call atolls. Circular reefs and their passes have turned out to be a pretty good shape for wave creation and this chain just happens to have 26 atolls slung across 2200km (1370mi) of ocean that receives plenty of pulses from the Great Southern Ocean.

The Stormrider Surf Guide: India and the Bay of Bengal

The Stormrider Surf Guide: India and the Bay of Bengal

A whole sub-continent of waves have largely been ignored by the traveling surf tribes for the best part of half a century and aside from Sri Lanka, very few countries in the Bay of Bengal would be considered true surf destinations. This is not to say there is no surf - quite the opposite in fact - but India, Myanmar and Thailand are on a completely different travel agenda, so few bother to lug a board round for what most perceive as 2ft monsoonal wind slop. The reality is there are days of real quality to be had on all these coasts during their on season, with surprising wave height, power and shape.
