Privatization is threatening the best surf spots in the Maldives, as the local government plans to deliver several islands to private tourism companies. Thanburudhoo, in the Maldive Islands, has two of the best surf breaks of the Indian Ocean – Sultans and Honkeys. It’s also the heart of surfing in the Maldives, and the only remaining island on the outer rim of North Male Atoll which has been left untouched by man. Nevertheless, a high-end surf resort will limit public access to the surf peaks. Only tourist with money in the pocket will ride the pristine, transparent waters.
