During our stay at Soneva Fushi, the most incredible, eco-friendly resort in the Maldives, Alison Teal teamed up with Soneva Surf to do a local beach cleanup with young girls and teach them about surfing!

Soneva Surf, which it believes is the world’s first fully sustainable surf program, using eco-friendly surfboards, leashes, fins, rash guards, sunscreen, and board wax. Nestled within the Ba’a Atoll, the Maldives only UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, Soneva Fushi boasts an incredible amount of pristine reef, sea life, and empty surf breaks within a 5-35 minute boat ride from the island.
