Maldives / Sports and Recreations / Windsurfing

The large lagoons that surround most of the islands are ideal for windsurfing. Large lagoons with waist deep water for hundreds of metres with soft sandy bottoms and the protective barrier provided by the house reef, offer ideal, safe conditions for windsurfing, especially for beginners. Almost all resorts have windsurf schools or watersports centres where you could get instructions and lessons and even get an international certificate.

Some schools are equipped with a variety of boards and sails to suit different levels of windsurfers. All windsurf schools and watersports centres without exception, have the basic equipment for windsurfing, and in most cases one or more catamarans and a few canoes.
