Water Sports

The speedboat driver glances back with a broad grin. Then the roar of engines. Hang on for dear life. Laughter and shrieks of excitement fill the air. A rainbow spray of water. Cutting through the waves, free as a bird. Paddle across the atoll in a kayak. Ride a strong gust on a clear morning. Balance on a catamaran. Parasailing, wake boarding, jet skiing. An array of waterspouts activities and facilities to indulge in. So many ways to soar.

Surfing in the Maldives

A short boat ride from Kurumba Maldives, and you’re there: one of the prime surf spots on the planet. In the North Malé Atoll, our experienced instructors cater to students of all skill levels. The roar of the waves. The taste of salt and adrenaline. White foam over azure waters. A sense of victory like nothing you’ve experienced as you ride the barrel to the white sand shore. Surfing season in North Malé Atoll generally runs from mid-April to mid-October.

Jet Ski Safari

One of Kurumba’s most popular activities, an exhilarating experience not to be missed. Visit other islands in the Maldives, snorkel a hidden reef and explore enchanting spots only accessible by Jet Ski. An environmentally friendly approach to jet skiing, using the latest craft with low emissions and noise levels. Get up close with the island’s natural beauty while preserving its quiet harmony. As you journey, one of our experienced guides shares Maldivian wisdom and points out local Islands and snorkeling spots. Drivers must be over 18 years of age, and passengers over 10 years of age.

The Health Benefits of Surfing


       You may have noticed that many surfers don’t look their age, are usually in a good mood, and genuinely look forward to being active.  The benefits of surfing span much further than just being physical- it’s also great for your mood, and your mind.  Health Fitness Revolution promotes being physically active and mentally balanced, which is why we urge you to find a sport that you love, that motivates you to be active.  Here are the reasons surfing is a great sport:


  • Makes you Physically Stronger:  Surfing is a great cardiovascular exercise that keeps your heart pumping throughout it’s duration.  Since a large part of surfing involves paddling, which is low-resistance, you get a good core and upper body workout.  Once you find a wave to catch, you are using your core for balance, and your legs remain active.  Water sports in general tend to be great full-body exercises, and surfing is no exception.
  • Helps with Weight Loss: The average person burns around 400 calories an hour while they surf.  The great part about surfing is that the hour tends to go by very fast and you will more than likely want to surf another hour!
  • Provides Mental Benefits: Surfing is done in nature, which alone has many health benefits that we mentioned here.  Secondly, extended physical exercise leads to the release of endorphins which provide a natural euphoria and good mood.  Those who surf also mention the feeling of power they feel while the commune with the ocean, and that it has taught them patience. Since surfers must focus on the water, their movements, and the wave sets, they find this time a release from thoughts and the dialogue that’s always in our heads.
