At Niyama Private Islands Maldives<\/strong><\/a>, surfing is a way of life. And with peak surf season fast approaching, two renowned surfies \u2013 Wave-Ki founder and instructor Brad Gerlach and whiz-behind-the-lens Junior Garcia \u2013 are set to take up residence.<\/p>\n

Niyama Private Islands Maldives is the ultimate surf destination. Guests can jet in with their boards or get fully outfitted at the Rip Curl boutique, set up camp in one the specially outfitted surf villas, then hit the waves \u2013 including Vodi, a powerful and sometimes hollow wave that breaks right on shore. Afterwards, chill time awaits at the Surf Shack with rum and reggae, or at Drift Spa with a recovery back massage and sunburn-soothing aloe vera wrap.<\/p>\n

In residence 10 March \u2013 20 April to offer his revolutionary method of coaching is Brad Gerlach, the world\u2019s #2 in 1991 after dominating the leader board for the majority of the year. He is the founder of Wave-Ki, a land-based method to perfect surf skills favoured by pros like Parker Coffin, with a martial art-like focus on slow, precise movements which create kinaesthetic motor memory for improved surfing once in the water.<\/p>\n

There to capture guests mid-wave will be photographer Junior Garcia, at the resort March 8 \u2013 September 30. Originally from Brazil, and now based in Bali, Junior has spent his life chasing the ultimate wave and the ultimate shot.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe return of Brad and Junior to Niyama is epically exciting,\u201d says Nathan Kemp, Surf Development Director at the resort. \u201cTheir unrivalled talents, combined with the perfect surf conditions and absolutely incomparable backdrop that is the Maldives, guarantees an unforgettable experience for all who will be staying with us during this time\u201d.<\/p>\n
