Ever so popular in the Maldives, windsurfing can be indulged in several regions across the ocean. With such perfect water conditions all you need is the strong winds and most times around the year you are good to go. The windy season however falls somewhere between October and February and during these months wind surfing is the best it can be. If your skills in this arena need some brushing up, plenty of schools are available all over Maldives where lessons are provided year round.
