“The Maldives has some of the most perfect, playful waves in the world. The water is also as clear as you will find anywhere, which makes it even more special. I was up before the sunrise on day 1 and could barely believe what I saw - non-stop waves, not a single other surfer in the line-up and absolute perfection. I surfed until I could barely paddle anymore.
Having a session like that is pretty rare these days; it's the kind of experience that stays with you for a long time.”- Flick Palmateer
“This was my second trip to the Maldives and it was even more beautiful than I remembered! Hudhuran Fushi was such a nice place to stay and everyone who worked there was so friendly and welcoming. It was really amazing to see the friends I had made on a previous trip still there and even better that I could hang again with them! especially Hoobs! Our days were spent in the sun, surfing, boat riding, hanging and eating the yummy curries! My favourite dish was Mas Huni! It’s a mixture of tuna, onion, chilli and grated coconut! So good! This year, the waves were as perfect as it gets, long left handers with very few people out. It was a dream. The first few days were much bigger, and so watching Flick surf on her short board was incredible! Throughout the week we continued to surf at Lohis which was on Hudhuran Fushi, Ninjas and Chickens. Ninjas was my favourite wave as it was more mellow of the three I surfed, it was perfect for longboarding and single fins!”- Josie Prendergast
I have been fortunate enough to be raised next to the ocean and have had the opportunity to come back and reconnect with the island and our family when I can. Last November, with my Billabong family I was able to explore, shoot, surf and go on adventures around my island home. There are no words that illustrate the love I have for my family and with that being said majority of them live in the Philippines.
It was incredibly special to me that Billabong were able to meet and share time with the people who mean so much to me. Reflecting on that special week, so many amazing memories were created and shared.
My love for this island and the incredible people will never fade, never die. Siargao makes my heart sing and fills it full of love. I cannot express how special this place is to me; it is otherworldly.
