Stuthy's Adventure , August Maldives 2015

Island life, Maldives style, located in the middle of the Indian Ocean, a vast archipelago with ideal atoll  surf breaks. The offer to work here again for Tropicsurf was easy, ten days with the Champions Trophy event, looking after the media, sponsors and liaising with the champs. After the Champions Trophy I stayed on for the rest of August working at Kuda Hurra Four Seasons  Resort with Martin Reynolds and Joli. The rewarding experience of guiding to take guests to their next level was a fulfilling experience. To have Joli there to document each session with his 35 years of photography knowledge was just such a pleasure to work with him. Here he shares some images from the past few weeks in the beautiful Maldives.

Special thanks to Joli , legendary Australian Surf photographer for these sweet photos. It has been a pleasure to work with you for this time in the Maldives.
