You'll be able to take your surfing to the next level under the watchful eyes of one of the most dedicated and progressive surf coaches out there, surrounded by crystal clear water, paradise feels and world-class waves in one of the most beautiful corners in the world!

This is a really special episode as we go back in time exploring a time when the Maldives were mostly unknown to the rest of the world.

Ian is a storyteller! And the stories he has are plentiful!
