general information

Jails is actually the break off the island that has the Maldivian jail on it. A cell here with a sea view would be the ultimate punishment for any surfer!

Acess is via boat only and a paddle into the break. The wave is a fast, barrelling right over coral reef. Not recommended for beginners. Being caught on the inside here can result in being washed onto shallow reef.

A great wave, often with a decent crowd on it. Fast and memerable if you get the right one.
