RGTV Maldives Episode 5: The Vibes: immaculate. The Sunburns: severe.

It’s 5:24 AM and Malu and Kohai are already up, still seasick but hanging in there.

As the rest of the crew slowly wakes up, the stoke builds. The surf is firing at Cokes, and even better… we finally have sun. After five stormy days, the first clear morning brings major energy — and a lot of sunscreen. The girls are sunburnt from yesterday’s session, so it’s all hands on deck for the SPF.

On the short ride to the break, a massive pod of dolphins swims past the boat, and then, it's go time.

The session is one of the best yet. The lineup is on, the waves are clean, and the crew is charging. Laughter, cheering, and pure surf joy as everyone hypes each other up.

Of course, in classic Maldives fashion, the rain makes another appearance mid-session, but just as quickly, the skies clear again, and the girls stay out for over three hours scoring perfect waves.

Back on the boat, it’s lunchtime catch-ups with Zoe, who gives us the full rundown on the session. The day wraps up with after-sun rituals, Biafine, and a solid laugh at everyone’s outrageous tan lines.

This one’s about those golden surf days, sun-kissed, wave-filled, and worth the wait.
