Jails
Edit SpotAbout
Its a very humbling experience at Jails when one minute you duck dive a 6 ft slab of water just about breaking on bare coral only to turn around and see the Maldives worst criminals in jail 100m in front of you. It gives you that feeling of freedom as a surfer.
Additional Info:
Jails is one of the best surf spots in the maldives its along right with some very fast sections the water is hot and its not crowded. Why the name? It´s a former jail, now small military area.
