Dive into the colourful side of life in the Maldives, one of the dreamiest surf destinations on the planet.

We had fun times with Markie Lascelles, Josh Ward, Gwen Spurlock, Leonor Fragoso and friends on the OA3: a rad catamaran that’s doing a five year round the world surf mission… Full feature in the new issue which is on shelves now and on the app version here…   More photos that didn’t make the mag below..

Starboard porthole…

How to bugger up a nice left-hander…

Water clarity is off the scale…

Markie does a skid…

Another trying day at the office for Wardo…

Fun as hell waves … four out.

Down the hatch…

Pretty awful place to hang out to be honest…

The lair of the hermit crabs…

Wardo and the big blue…

Blue tones…

Cross island express transport…

Another terrible place to park a boat…

All the skills from the Cap’n.

The boys on the first morning… Can’t quite believe where they’ve woken up. Water certainly slightly different colour to Aggie.

Gwendol and the coolest place on the boat to sleep: the trampoline.

Gwendolen cracks one off at Mikados…

Footage check with Jem the co-owner of the boat and Leonor…
