subject: Kite Surfing In Maldives Experience The Ultimate Thrill Between The Air And Water [print this page] Maldives is made up of 26 atolls that break down to 1192 islets. An atoll is a ring shaped coral island and reef that encloses a lagoon. Maldives is blessed with a mildly warm climate and constantly being cooled by the sweeping sea breezes acting like a natural air conditioner. The coastal vistas in Maldives are truly breathtaking and sometimes even appear surreal for the contrast between dazzling white beaches and clear turquoise sea.
Most of Maldivian islets have been transformed into island resorts where holidaymakers can enjoy a peaceful, laidback holiday. As the country is surrounded by marine water from all directions it is inevitable that Maldives become popular for water sports.
There are a number of water sports you can try in Maldives like snorkelling, jet skiing, diving, water skiing, wind surfing, sailing, kitesurfing, parasailing, knee boarding and wakeboarding. In addition you can enjoy the fun filled banana boat ride, fun tubes and observe corals while riding on glass bottom boats. And for the ones who wish to meet the friendliest ocean dwellers try the dolphin cruises and have wonderful encounters.
Kitesurfing, also known as kite boarding, is one of the most thrilling water sports and adrenaline rushes you can enjoy. Maldives offer a number of kite beaches maintained more often by the respective island resorts. Kitesurfing is a sport where the rider stands on a special surf board while being tugged by a large controlled kite that takes the shape of a parachute.
The thrill is at its peak when the rider becomes airborne swept up and down by the strong winds. Challenging the strong waves below and winds above is no easy task but the exhilaration and excitement makes it definitely worth a try.
One of the finest kite beaches in Maldives is located at Kuredu Island. Apart from this there are many other kite beaches like Olhuveli Island, Sun Island, Meerufenfushi Island, Vilu Reef and Holiday Island.
Kuredu Island is quite famous for its water sports including windsurfing, catamaran sailing, parasailing, wakeboarding and kitesurfing. The warm climates as well as crystal clear skies and waters weave the perfect paradise for kite surfers coming to Maldives from across the globe.
The excitement and thrill is at a higher level here where the riders can challenge the winds and the waves time and again. And if you wish to take a respite there is the dazzling white sandy beach to unwind and absorb the striking sunsets painting a mesmerizing world.
