As a water sports activity that relies solely on wind power caught in the sails to glide across the water, windsurfing is a fun and engaging activity all travellers can explore during a Maldivian getaway. While swimming abilities and the mechanics of balancing a windsurfing board on the ocean will require some practice, this invigorating sport, which combines elements of sailing and surfing, is ideal for those who wish to try their hand at a challenging water sports activity.
