Pasta Point

Surf Guide

Perhaps the most famous wave in the Maldives, this is where Tony Hussein-Hinde set up Atoll Adventures in the early '90s. Its name comes from the fact that the island used to be an Italian resort -- and after surfing the perfect lefts all day your arms will most certainly be noodled. Pasta Point is indeed probably the best left out here, as it picks up the most swell, is the least affected by wind, and offers a 100-yard-long tubing wall for your pulling-in enjoyment. The fast takeoff section leads straight into the so-called "Macaroni Bowl" tube section and then mellows for a couple top turns before the inside shallow racetrack, called Lockjaws.Access is strictly limited to guests at Dhonveli Resort.
