Two of the most popular surfing waves in the Maldives will be off limits to most traveling surfers and local riders. The surf spots of “Sultans” and “Honkys” will only be surfed by paying clients of a surf resort with exclusive access to the breaks. The Maldivian Ministry of Defence decided to sell the Thanburudhoo Island on a 50-year lease plan for $5,000,000 dollars. The future “boutique surf resort” promises “hospitality offerings and eco-green ambience”, but the foreign and local surfers will be out of the popular peaks. Although Maldivian wave riders were promises a “special surfing session”, twice per month, the offer is unacceptable, according to the Maldivian Surfing Association.
