Pasta Point
Edit SpotAbout
is exclusively reserved for Dhonveli's surfing guests. Perhaps the most famous wave in the Maldives. 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 the best left out here. Picks tons of 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.
