I recently had the good fortune to spend a week on board the Carpe Vita in the Maldives. This is the kind of charter that can ensure diehard surfers get that totally surfed out feeling every day, while at the same time making sure your non-surfing partner or lower level frother has everything at hand to keep them happy.

We spent a week cruising around the North Male atolls of the Maldives, scored great waves, did some phenomenal diving and made sure the jacuzzi and cocktail bar were well patronised. What can I say, being a surf photographer sometimes has its perks.
