Street Skating On Boats In The Maldives – Island Hopping – Part 1

Malé is the magical capital of an incredible chain of islands floating a few hours south of India in the Indian Ocean. You might think, what’s there to skate then? Well, it just so happens the island of Malé happens to offer some gnarly boat skating if you’re willing to risk a soggy board. Nick Garcia, Korah Gayle, Nick Boserio, Jordan Trahan had no concern of this, and Patrik Wallner was there to catch every moment.

When researching the trip, Raalhugandu Skatepark came up right away, a DIY bowl being built by a local group of skaters on an artificial beach in Malé. A street gap and another DIY bowl were later found on Google Earth…what more excuse do you need to fly 9,600 miles to an exotic island?
