The key to fulfilling any New Year’s resolution is to plan ahead, make sure that it’s aligned with your personal goals, and not to just list it all down, on a whim, on New Year’s Eve.

Interestingly, while the study showed that the lack of willpower is one of the main reasons why people fail to keep up with their resolutions, those who … Continue Reading

Our latest “open” Maldives Boat trip returned over the weekend. Starting out in the Male Atolls we surfed a number of breaks including Sultans, Jail Breaks and Honkys. The swell dropped off and after a quick surf forecast check we decided to up anchor and head south to the remote Thaa Atoll.

The next five days we surfed perfect, long and tropical waves, with not one other boat or surfer around!

The days were spent surfing (9 hours in one day was the record) and the evenings were spend fishing off the boat and a few cold cans of Tiger beer.

Main reason for visit should be ticked as Tourism and if you happen to be a journalist or photographer … Continue Reading
